       In the  fisr week of our class Mr Charles asked us to read about aesthetic and function to discus which one is more important.
first of all, what is function ?
function is basically the main purpose of the product it must accomplish the buyers need and wants accomplish the consumers needs and wants. for the designer function refers to what the product must DO in order to be successful.
what is aesthetic ?
Aesthetic refers to the physical appearance of a product and its visual appeal to the target market.
aesthetic are very subjective so if one product appeals to one group of consumers may not appeal to an individual due to age , gender, socio, economic background and current trends .
why id function more important than aesthetic ?
because function is the goal and it important that it meets its buyers requirements.
what is the different between function and aesthetic?
the different between aesthetic and function is that the function main purpose is to work and the things it must do,aesthetic main purpose is to appeal to the buyers, hence function is definetly more important than aesthetic .
the importance of function is that it can be repetitively perform its task and it is safe also,easy to use.
well everyone got different ideas  ,of course function is more important, but  in my opinion, it depends on the product , for example  to compare a beautiful tool to another tool which is not so pretty but it does fulfill your needs. which one would you choose ? but sometimes we come across something that we only want to use it as a decoration of our room so the function is not so important for us and we just want it to be beautiful .how ever balance  involves the principles of design so it would be amazing to have  both function and good looking at the same time in one product that is what make something unique .
