When you see your designs in real life
Every designer will recognise that rather uplifting feeling you get when you just happen to come across a product whose design you have played a big part in, out there, on sale or being used in the everyday world. There is no denying that sense of pride, resisting the urge of course to linger and point out to random passers by, that you designed this beautiful thing!
When you see your designs on TV
Last summer whilst watching the trailer for an upcoming Channel 4 drama about androids, I was amazed to see that a product, whose industrial design we were responsible for, had made it onto the video clip as a futuristic prop, an android charging unit. We were hugely flattered that a design for an alarm siren, which has been selling successfully, was considered avant garde enough to appear as a thing of the future. We always knew we were ahead of our time!
