Aesthetics – Form vs. Function
• A designer faces conflict when attempting to balance form and function.
• There is often a tension between the aesthetic characteristics and functionality, aesthetic characteristics and safety issues and aesthetic characteristics and cost or value for money.
• To the consumer aesthetic considerations may outweigh functional considerations at the point of sale.
