对话北美设计大师 - [设计相关]

这是新浪网的一个专题，05年的，很老了，但很多东西还是值得收藏的，故习惯性的做个笔记：

 

1 Donald Norman：情感化设计

Donald Norman（唐•诺曼）在很多公司和教育机构担任董事和理事，包括芝加哥设计学院。他是美国西北大学计算机和心理学教授，是Nielsen Norman Group咨询公司的创办人之一，曾任 苹果电脑公司先进技术部副总裁。他的著作包括《日常事务设计》(The Design of Everyday Things)、《心科技》(Things That Make Us Smart)和《看不见的计算机》(The Invisible Computer)。他的新书《情感化设计》(Emotional Design)强调情感在产品设计中的重要作用。他的目标是帮助企业制造出不仅满足人们的理性需求，而且满足他们的情感需求的产品。

这引得我去思索摄影和绘画的本质区别。我认为，照相机会妨碍你去体验。它能给你留下一段回忆，但当你举起相机时，你也就无法好好地去享受眼前的一切。绘画就不同了，它属于另一种技术。在下笔之前，你必须仔细研究眼前的景色，更加用心地去品味。这个发现带给我的震动很大。在此看来，绘画这项技术是强化了你的体验，而摄影却成了干扰体验的技术。

[新闻调查]——工业设计的奥秘 - [设计相关]

央视也关注起工业设计了，这一期专门做了个“工业设计的奥秘”，部分摘抄如下：

朱焘：现在，我们党中央也针对，这个我们经济总量已经上升到很高的地位了，那么这时候我们很需要，在质的问题上在好的方面下工夫，所以这时候发挥作用就是工业设计。

工业设计是在大工业背景下，人类创造性的劳动，它的最终目的是为大多数人服务。

朱焘：工业设计是解决人与物的关系，到为人服务，我用起来怎么方便？怎么舒适？怎么有效又美观？给一种艺术感，所以说工业设计，可以使人们的生活质量不断提高，改变生活方式，比方说手机它原来只是能接通电话，那么谁第一个创意能够照相的？他一旦有这个创意了，跟摄影方面的专家一合作，工程师一合作，他就跟搞芯片的人一合作，就把手机具备了摄影、摄像的功能，尽管它很初级，但是它一下子就很畅销，它吸引了消费者，它使这个生活发生了很大变化。

禅境---日本设计的文化特征（转自设计在线） - [设计相关]

 来自设计在线的一篇论文，掩盖不住激动的心情转了过来，慢慢欣赏……这不仅是一篇讨论设计的论文，更是探讨了人生，设计不仅仅是形式更是哲学。日本的禅宗哲学是从中国传过去的，几千年过去了他们能够把它发扬光大，并把它融入到了生活，设计……我们是不是应该学习些什么呢？

--伍 斌（中山职业技术学院艺术设计系主任、副教授、高级工艺美术师）

也许是岛国特殊的地理环境和生存环境所致，处于浩瀚大海包围中的日本，使其呈现出一种既开放、又封闭，既辽阔、又狭窄的地理状态，这种矛盾的地理状态由此形成了日本人既排斥、又吸收，既抗拒、又服从，既自尊、又自卑，既勇猛、又胆怯，既爱美、又黩武，既粗鲁、又文明的国民特性，体现在艺术形式上则是既自然、又人工；既伤感、又亢奋；既张扬、又含蓄；既传统、又前卫；既狰狞、又温情；使日本的设计艺术构成了一幅幅特有图像的景观：似是而非，矛盾共生。

优秀设计的标准--德国布劳恩公司优良设计十项原则 - [设计相关]

 1. Good design is innovative.
Technological development is always offering new opportunities for innovative design. But innovative design always develops in tandem with innovative technology and can never be an end in itself. When designing the shelving system, I had the idea that it should be like a good English butler. It should be there when you need it but be in the background when you don't.

2. Good design makes a product useful.
A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of the product while disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it.

3. Good design is aesthetic.
The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.

4. Good design makes a product understandable.
It clarifies the product's structure. Better still, it can make the product talk. At best, it is self-explanatory.

5. Good design is honest.
It does not make a product more innovative, powerful, or valuable than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept.

6. Good design is unobtrusive.
Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user's self-expression.

7. Good design is long-lasting.
It avoids being fashionable, and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years--even in today's throwaway society. I live with the shelving system. It's the only way I can improve it. I'm proud when I get letters from users who say they bought system in 1962 and were able to add elements to it as their needs grew and changed.

8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
Nothing must be arbitrary. Care and accuracy in the design process shows respect toward the consumer.

9. Good design is environmentally friendly.
Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment. It conserves resources and minimizes physical and visual pollution throughout the life cycle of the product. A few years ago I had the crazy idea that gas stations should not only be places to buy gas but locations where you could return goods for recycling. Companies have the technology; the problem is finding ways for users to be able to return a product at the end of its life. ("To learn more about Rams's views on environmental sustainability and designers' responsibility to the earth, read our Web-exclusive essays "The Art of Living Better" and "The Future of Design.")

10. Good design is as little design as possible.
Less but better--because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with inessentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity!

1、出色的设计是需要创新的。它既不重复大家熟悉的形式，但也不会为了新奇而刻意出新。
            2、出色的设计创造有价值的产品。因此，设计的第一要务是让产品尽可能地实用。不论是产品的主要功能和辅助功能，都有一个特定及明确的用途。
