Everything Designed

Sometimes I look at things and think, wow.  For instance, a cup.  How many different variations are there of the object we use to drink liquid out of?  It's just amazing the mass amount of things in the world that are designed to some degree or another.  The trick for designers, and even filmmakers is getting that particular design or film to sell.  So what's the secret?

It all has to do with the audience.  If your product's audience isn't the intended one, more often than not, it won't be success.  That is unless, one can either shift the product into the right audience by making changes to it, or the non-intended audience is receptive to the idea although it would generally be out of their comfort range.  This is pretty rare however.  Usually a product has many many stages, meant for change to reach the right audience, and other possible targeted audiences.

Just my thoughts.

  1. Hmm, much like fixing a meal for a large family. You have ingredients, a target audience, and you hope it is in their range of interest and they are receptive to it. After all just how many ways can someone fix turkey leftovers? I get that most people would see film as a much different topic, still the concept is the same. In the end the people either love it, hate it, want to change/edit it, or are indifferent.
