There’s gotta be soul in the product. It needs to convey emotion, personality, give you a strong feeling. That’s what it’s about

The aesthetics of the cultural artifacts we create can allow for them to have great cultural impact. But that impact is determined by culture, not by aesthetics. A thing is not iconic until it has an impact on the people - until it has significant cultural relevance.

As designers, we aren’t just creating aesthetics. Nor are we just creating function for a specific end use. We are creating cultural artifacts.

Aesthetics alone do not make things iconic. A thing’s cultural relevance does.
