Don Norman’s first chapter has been an eye-opening experience. It’s astonishing to realize how much thought and intentionality should go into the design of even the simplest objects we encounter daily. Norman’s concept of “the psychopathology of everyday things” resonates deeply with me because I’ve often found myself frustrated by poorly designed objects like confusing interfaces or counterintuitive controls. His emphasis on Human-Centered Design is particularly relevant in today’s world, where technology is pervasive, and products should cater to a wide range of users. What struck me the most was the reminder that good design should make our lives simpler, not more complicated. This chapter has made me appreciate the importance of clear communication between designers and users and has left me with a newfound awareness of the impact of design on our daily experiences. It’s a lesson I’ll carry with me as I continue to learn and explore the world of design.
