Class Design Aesthetics in April 19th

Today our class Design Aesthetics is discuss about principle of pleasure design. What kind of principle is this? I give one example at here : Many humans cant bear for situation mess, As a normal human sure will get up clean those situation become tiny and clean. This is call principle of pleasure design. Another principle teory that is call Maximum effect for minimum. Means that our system want to function as economically as possible and another explanation that is if we can smell, see , hear or decide something faster or with less effort, we will prefer it over the more demanding alternative.

Dr Tan also share us about the use of metaphor. Metaphor is a tools to say something that is difficult to express in word.  Normally we use metaphor to express our feeling and emotions like example: My girlfriend is pretty like princess and another one is you are my guardian angel.  Actually today classes i feel little boring because all is dicuscuss about these theories but i have no choice, this is my asset to success in design.

Next, we also learn about Gestalt laws of perceptual organisation. Those have many types of laws can me feel confuse. 1) Law of similarity: This law says that when parts of configuration are  perceived similar, they will be perceived as belonging together. 2) Law of proximity: This law is discuss about elements that are near each other are likely to be perceived as part of the same configuration. 3) Law of closure: People tend to close the open edges of a figure or fill in gaps in an incomplete figure so that their identification of the form is more complete that what is actually there. At last, that is Law of continuation : that means people link individual elements together so they form continuos line or pattern that make sense,
