Objectified

Everything is design. From the moment you wake up, people do not realize everything around them has been designed.
The documentary was a good way for me to know more about the future of design. What does it hold for society? How do we know what is next? Many designers are struggling with these questions since design is meant to be the idea taken from the past and constructed for the future. It could be an object, image, or expression. The documentary also taught me about a program that is commonly used among computer designers called "Computer Aided Design." Its known to help improve the prototype being created. Prototype means the final product of a project.
Also, design must be innovative. Innovative means modern, unique, and new. Designers must stick to this because that is what they should be thinking about while they are about to create something. They should also think about honesty, long-lived, consistent in detail, friendly, minor details are valuable. These words simply tell the buyer that the design has been well processed and thought through when it was being created. Designers should always be thinking ahead.
Modern Design is the new "it thing." It is looking at formal relationship of form + form. The content is often symbolism as it has many meanings to the creator and the buyer. The contextual sense is looking at technological context.
"Objectified" a film created by Gary Hustwit taught me so much about the future of design that there is no excuse as to why other designers shouldn't watch this wonderful film.
