Chapter 1: Function & Personality


Function & Personality

Function: An activity or purpose natural to or intended for a person or thing.

Personality: The combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual's distinctive character.

                The function of a product is the most important aspect. Regardless of the aesthetics of a machine such as a water wheel or gun, if the function does not work the way it is intended the creation is useless.  A good designer seeks to maximize their design by blending the technical with the visual. As better technologies are invented, more visual aspects can be applied to the design.  To create an effective mixture of technical and visual an exploration of what the material requires methods and design the best combination of the two worlds can be achieved in a single harmony.
