Vision on Design

The previous semester my vision on design changed. At first it was based on exploring playful interactions. I wanted to create products that are necessarily easy to use, but should be fun. Next to this I knew that music had influence on my approach to design.

I realized that fun is an aspect of an experience which is very hard, if not impossible, to define and describe. And therefore is “fun” not easy to test my products to. I changed my vision towards design for freedom. I would like to give people the illusion that they have freedom/unlimited possibilities in ways of interaction with my product, while this freedom is actually defined by me. With this, the products’ efficiency is not my main focus; instead it is more about the experience a person has it through interaction. That is my main interest.
