Zine - Week 7
This week we had to think about materials and how we use them in our designs and what the purpose is of these materials.

As a designer of interactive / smart concepts I always thought that the interface of the screen attached to the product was the most important aspect of the concept, but after thinking so much about materials and their attitude, shape and textures I wonder what’s more important: The interface or the material of the product itself?
If the user doesn’t like the material of your product he won’t use it or even stare at it longer than a second. During material centred projects I came across the fact that material research is definitely important for every concept you make. It’s important to find matching materials for your concepts, even if it’s not your job to think about the materials. The materials of your product can change a lot about the concept you have in mind.
