“Simply put, the entire built structure around us is design. Design in the proper sense of the term has a complicated relationship with function. The concept of whether or not a well-designed object should function is one that is open to debate. In my belief good design must function. Function means to communicate. Although this is not the strictest definition the ability of our objects to communicate is very important. Great objects communicate their function. A prime example of such an iconic design that communicates effectively is scissors. Scissors represent the greatest relationship of function and form. If more people understood the communicative power innate in objects then they would embrace design more passionately.”
I used to love collecting bottle caps when I was a little kid! I had a big coffee can full of them. I used to pour them all out on the basement floor and count how many I had of each one. And then as the cork inside was phased out, how many had cork and how many had a plastic liner. I really wish I would have kept my collection & the coffee can, but it’s long gone. I did keep the cap from the diet Dad’s I bought the other day at Fresh Market. Even though it was diet, it tasted sooo good!!
