Description

Ever wondered what separates a great product from a merely functional one? It's about more than just what you see on the surface. In this episode of "The Talk" by WE AND THE COLOR, we go beyond aesthetics to explore the fundamental principles that define genuinely good design.

Join us as we unpack the core ideas that transform everyday objects and digital experiences into something exceptional. We'll discuss why the best designs often feel invisible, putting the user's needs first with clarity and purpose. We dive into the crucial balance between beauty and utility, and how honesty, durability, and a "less, but better" philosophy create products that stand the test of time.

More importantly, we'll explore the modern responsibilities of designers, focusing on the urgent need for environmentally friendly practices and inclusive design that serves everyone. Whether you're a seasoned creative, a product manager, or simply curious about the thought process behind the things you use every day, this episode will give you a new appreciation for what makes good design, good.
