There are three factors which influence product aesthetics, as well as give form and personality to a product.

These three are:

Function Human factors Emotion

Function

Function-dominant products have a particular objective to achieve. Their forms revolve around this objective, and usually have a more straightforward design.

There are three factors to be taken into consideration when designing a product, that is

Function, human factors and emotion. FUNCTION-BASED AESTHETICS/FORM:

From the previous lecture, we were introduced to the 3 factors that influence the aesthetics(form) of a product. The factors are Function, Human Factors & Emotion.

I will be sharing 3 products that show dominance in each factor in this post.

FUNCTION DOMINANT

A functional based product will be straightforward about its function so users will be be able to use it intuitively.

Interesting choice of products for each! You do need to have to translate the nodes of influence concepts to other products such as kettles and power tools, etc., as well.

Recess Week

As shared by Professor Peer in the previous lecture, we were introduced to 3 main nodes that have influence over the Aesthetic & Form – Function, Human Factor and Emotion.

Does Dyson fan compromise on function or human factors? Or emotions dominate it without losing on function and human factors?
I would say that the Dyson fan is more emotions dominated without losing on function and human factors. The subtraction of the wind blades (main element) that is use to induce wind flow, conform the users to use the Dyson fan in a new manner/practise.

In Lecture 2 we learned that there are 3 nodes that influence the aesthetics or forms of product designs- function, human factors and emotion.

To help illustrate this, I have found 3 product designs that have a dominance of each of the factors.

The Sweeper & Dustpan by Jan Kochanski is an example of a function-dominant product. It is a simple and easy Read more →

Hi Kaywerlyn It is not 3 ergonomics but 3 nodes that influence aesthetics of a product : )
Hi Peer, sorry for the error. It has already been corrected, thank you. :)
Interesting products Kaywerlyn! I hope that you will relate this concept to other products as well...
