Beats, By Dr. Dre

Beats by Dr. Dre are very fashionable and functional. Beats are noise canceling and have a fit that goes comfortably over your head making them useful while on a long flight with a crying baby next to you. They fold up so that they are easier to carry around and the cords come out. To use all you must do is plug them into your music device and turn the little on switch on the side. As Dieter Rams would refer they are simple in the design, understandable and unobtrusive.

Objectified

The movie objectified give me great pleasure in what is to come in the future as an Industrial Designer. I enjoyed listening to Marc Newson and how he takes item in which he has no idea what they can be used for and tries to find a project in which he can incorporate the texture of material of the object. The bicycle in which he designed for Trek and was used by Lance Armstrong was very inspiring due to the fact I enjoy  going out and riding my bike. A designer get the chance to create things that are not only fashionable but functional. Marc Newson's creations are both.
