Exercise 5 - Song Kim

I hate this object - Kenmore Plastic Kettle

I don't like this object because although it is a simple, clean design the material can not be broken down, it is just a big chunk of plastic, so we can not recycle. Also, I think this design is too simple. The affordance and physical constraint of this design, the one red switch - (On/Off) is quite effective and limits the range of possible action. However, the aesthetic part of this design lacks some important context. The handle is too wide, uncomfortable to pour water,especially the handle is on the top of the bottle. No cover or lid-can not wash inside of the kettle. No appealing design and most of all, no clear plastics- so we don' t know the water level.

I love this object - Ultra Slim Ceramic

This slim and light weight hair straightner is really a good design. It can hold hair firmly, automatic shup off system (keeps the heat at certain level ) and the grips - made in right position so physical constraint of this design is quite effective (make it more safe). Also the visible feedback is good. I really like this color match - golden ceramic plates with black and siver plastics.
