A well-considered application of functionality and aesthetics makes up a good design. But a perfect design also adds ergonomics into the mix. We’ve round up some of the things with brilliant designs that make them conveniently usable, attractive, and comfortable to use. A street that looks like a long stretch of vintage rug, a book-shaped bench in a library, heart medications in the shape of hearts, and a water bottle with a map showing water-filling stations. These are only few of the ingenious innovations from clever designers who are worthy of praise.
Design plays a crucial role in solving complex problems and providing service to society. When society encounter new problems, people will use their innate creativity and design talent to create something new or modify the subject that causes the problem. Apparently, practical functions and ease of use are essential factors in making brilliant designs to better serve mankind. But great designers recognize the fact that functionality and ergonomics are sometimes not enough to meet the needs of the demanding public.
Getting attracted to beautiful things is human nature and universal. This is why brilliant designs also require aesthetic factor alongside functionality and ergonomics. First things first, designers have to come up with something that catches people’s attention. But of course, we’re talking about catching their attention in a good way because there are also some designs that could draw attention for being hilariously bad.
