I’ve been hearing a lot about ‘experiential’ design in the past few years. The idea that it is important for designers to create a holistic experience for those who visit a museum or experience a product in a ‘new and exciting’ way. In thinking about what this means it’s made me realize something rather, obvious. In order for we designers to create an experience, we need to have experiences, outside design.
Looking at photographs of a mountain can in no way, match the experience of climbing one. By taking ourselves outside the confines of the studio, and pushing ourselves to do things, and to experience things outside of our personal taste, I think will make our work much more successful.
With all that said, here are some photos of some experience I’ve been having lately, and I’d encourage everyone to do the same.
