Abstract:
Objects contain important narratives that can determine the level of reverence paid as an object
transcends into that of artifact. The ability to recognize and realize the potential of objects, and
the symbols they possess, requires a designer to take a closer look at the decisions being made
during the design process – including the reintroduction of craft and its importance in defining
narratives for an intended audience. A designer’s relationship to objects, and the careful attention
paid to the meaning hidden within design choices, can determine how effective new forms of
visual communication translate meaning to an audience.
