Hey Morna, I really enjoy your design analysis video, you really dig into detail and core of design development. You should think about recording a design lecture on some online learning platforms like Lynda.com or skillshare. I recently just finished watching Scott Clear's industrial design lecture on Lynda.com, it's really similar of yours, but your video is more specific and deeper, which I like better. I think you should give a try, and I would pay to watch your course. Opening courses on a platform might gives you more resource and offers video editing support, which makes your online teaching more consistently. Anyway, I am looking forward to watch more videos like me! Great job!
Thanks for the complements and suggestions!! I want to create an online course. I've actually been teaching at 2 local colleges here in toronto (Centennial and Humber) for the past few years so doing it online is a natural fit. I'm still thinking about the exact topic because I have a few in mind. When you say Design Analysis video - do you mean this one analyzing how to make a harmonious looking form or the Design analysis video like "Pulp Storage by Midori, where I look at form, function, material, etc.... or is it a bit of everything? ... lol Thanks again for your feedback. In the background, I am planning to launch a course so all feedback is very useful to me.
i appreciate that you talk about the other parts of life that meet industrial design because it has a virtually infinite amount of intersections, and design has impacted everyone's life for better or worse
Really nice to find this video, I remember during my bachelors in industrial design there was no mention ever of anything to help us create shapes and forms, no theory on anything visual. I've had to study by myself afterwards (loomis and concept artists) to learn about all of this, and I'm always surprised by how rare it is to find a designer that is at least aware of the existence of visual art principles. Great video and I'll be sure to refer this to students in the future.
Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. Wow, that is surprising to hear you didn't receive any training in visual design principles during your bachelors. Do you think this is typical of ID programs in your area? In my ID program, we covered Visual design principals but they were 2D graphic principals... which is fine for visual presentations, but strange considering ID is in 3D. My background is Visual Art and I was on the path to becoming an visual artist before going back to school for ID. I think the seeds for Visual design principals were planted during my art training. Also, thx for sharing... I really do appreciate it :)
Wow! I learned a lot from your analysis. I love designing things, but I never thought of these things, I will apply these lessons from my next diys. Thank you. ☺
Hello Morna, this is simply brilliant, İ have had this in my mind for a while and wonder if you can share any knowledge about how "proportions" works in design? I am hearing it is what looks pleasent to the eye but I am still hoping that there is also an explantion how it works.
Thank you so much for contents like these. I’m at a state where I can’t really interpret how and why I create my design form-wise. I’m looking for a book that greatly concentrates on form-giving but yet to find one. Do you have any recommendation?
I love your video. Such an eye opener. Thank you so much for sharing. This will help me in the future. Although I’m not an Industrial Designer but I would like to become one.
Muy bien ! I really appreciate your videos , I usually spend lots of time researching form design but usually find in design research thesis , hope to see more videos like this in the future.Well done!
Hey Morna, 😊 I truly enjoyed your post. I actually found it very engaging. 😁🙌 I think what it made differently is that you use real products and it gives your audience a good feeling. Keep up the good work! ✨✨✨
Thanks, Michael! I don't use the golden ratio intentionally but it's possible, it's in my work. I rely on what feels right to my eye or my "aesthetic sense". However, I did study visual art. In the early years, I studied the human figure through drawing, painting and sculpture. So that may contribute to a sense of proportion. In addition, I study design that I think looks good. Your question reminds me of a book called Geometry of Design. It looks at famous graphic design, furniture design and the human body and analyzes them based on the golden ratio. It's an interesting book although I honestly haven't spent much time with it.
Hi Michael, to see the golden ratio in action - check out @macoshdesign on Instagram. She makes animations that show how famous products use the golden ratio. Also, her content is high quality.
Thanks for great content. Dunno how I never came across this channel earlier. Given how vague learning forms can be, I never wrapped my head around some concepts like harmony properly. I wish we were taught form development that is more actionable in college. Please keep making more videos like this. Kudos :)
thanks for the vid. perhaps for the 'ugly' remote, (as a designer (industrial) and mech engineer of over 40 years) I suspect the product was designed by an engineer without design input. I also believe that particular cultural values and acceptances (affordances) are designed subconsciously into the product based on the designers own values. this is what leads me to believe an engineer designed the housing (aesthetics). designers are generally taught to ignore their own influences, engineers are not. the visual and aesthetic complexities of the remote are culturally based as are many designs that stem from China. just a couple of thoughts.
See the above comment to Michael. There is a book called Geometry of Design. It's interesting but I'm not sure how useful it is "in practice". It looks at Design after it's been made and makes a connection to the golden ratio.
Hey Morna, I just watched this video. Thank you for pointing this out. As for the remote, I would say there is an even bigger problem: there are no visual points of interest on it. Let me point you to a video that explains what I mean: "th-cam.com/video/qMH_J_vcoqE/w-d-xo.html" I know we have two different approaches to this: 1) from the design perspective and the other from an art perspective. However, I think in the overall design, this is coming together in what I would call 'look and feel.

Thank you for these videos! I study industrial design and these videos explain basic concepts of ID better than they do in lectures. :)
Hi Jouni! Thanks so much for saying that. It's great to hear the videos were helpful. Warm regards, Morna
Hey Morna, I'm from China. I'm glad to see your video！

Hi, great to hear you enjoyed the video! Enjoy the weekend. :)
Love this video. Thanks for sharing your insight!
Happy to hear it. You are welcome!
Hello ma'am ..if you could suggest some form development books .I'd be grateful.
Great video. Btw, where did you get that chair? I’d love to pick up a few myself.
Thanks. It's called the Piana chair, designed for Alessi by David Chipperfield.
i think this was a reaaaaalllyyyyyy cool video ty
thanks, Shriya.
This was really excellent. Thanks for doing all your videos!
Thanks Daniel.. You are welcome! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this.Never thought of it. This surely goin to help me in future design projects
you are welcome, Sameer!
Nice video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
12:08 I think Kubrick would really enjoy this shot. Great explanation :)
Thanks, Pawel! :)
Nice design language vid. What about using the golden ratio? Do you use it?

This video is soo useful and well explained. I've struggled with this for so long. Thanks for enlightening us ^_^
Glad it was helpful!
My name is Morne , pleased to meet you. Design Onward
Nice to meet you, Morne!

would u mind please use a microphone when the video swiches to ADV loud sound kills

Yes, this was definitely not designed by an industrial designer!
Not a fillit but a radius still your vids is top notch!
Thanks.... a fillet if we are speaking solidworks ;)
Hi, can you give the name of the chair manufacturer from the video
Hi, the manufacturer is Alessi. It's called the Piana chair, designed by Sir David Chipperfield
wonderful~
Thank you! :)
Interesting video Morna!. Do you know some book about "form & beauty" or "form development" in industrial design?
Thanks, Luis! That is a good question. Nothing is coming to mind.... let me think about it and get back to you.
See the above comment to Michael. There is a book called Geometry of Design. It's interesting but I'm not sure how useful it is "in practice". It looks at Design after it's been made and makes a connection to the golden ratio.
