Design Culture and Society

This product design brief explores the intersection of design culture
and semantics, focusing on the social and symbolic meanings
embedded in the product. It considers the "circuit of culture," where
design shapes and is shaped by cultural practices, values, and
emotions. The brief emphasises how the product communicates
through visual language, materials, and interactions, evoking emotional
responses from users. By understanding cultural context and symbolic
significance, the design aims to resonate deeply with its audience,
creating a meaningful connection. Emotional design principles are
applied to ensure the product not only meets functional needs but also
fosters a strong emotional bond with users.
