Beautility Good Design Has Utility by Tucker Viemeister


In this presentation, the girls were introducing the meaning behind the word “ beautility “. From what I understood from the presentation that beautility is compensation between two words, beauty and useful. In short it means that any thing in the word that is beautiful side and on the same time its useful and functional. I think that every think that god created it is beautiful and useful. For example, flowers are the most beautiful creature in the world and its useful to make perfumes. On the other hand, bee is an ugly insect but very useful because it makes honey for us.

In contrast, I liked the part that they talked about the ugly and useful objects. Like for example how designers here improve the meaning of beauty to more practical and useful things that we use to have but they are not practical. For instance, apple laptop bags were beautiful but not practical because it is big and harm the back. Now, the designer created new bags that is more beautiful and very useful that u can hold it easily anywhere you go and it has different colors and shapes.


In addition, I liked the part that discussed the beauty and the psychology behind it. In my opinion, beauty is very important in every thing because people’s eyes love to see beautiful around them. The meaning of beautiful is different from one to another, for example, some people see that Jessica Alba is a beautiful woman but if they see Charlize Theron they will think that she is prettier than Alba. This contrast effect refers to the person him self and to what he want to see.


Finally, no thing in this world is ugly, if you want to see the real beauty, just look around you, we will know that beauty is around us and just try to use this beauty to make it more used and more practical.
