Design

In reading the Design as communication by Don Norman, I find it interesting that he relates to the objects as actual items that you can communicate with. In reflecting upon this notion, I find it compelling that we subconsciously do exactly that. Ordinary, everyday objects are "designed" by our own actions...what we perceive an object to be is how we determine its function. It is also interesting to note that design can happen in any form - Norman relates design as a type of story. Humans are essentially designing the functions and existence of objects through the complex story that is made through the interaction - from form, to object placement, and to object function.
