3D DESIGN “People project meaning onto objects. If an object allows you to interact with it, then it becomes part of your being, and over time you see things in it that first you might not have seen.” - Karim Rashid Considering this symbiosis, I would like to highlight the importance of our work as designers when we create objects that are able to generate a strong sense of dependency on them while in the hands of the users. We have to be able to always see how this dependency becomes a user trend. Over the years we have seen how objects can change our lives completely and drastically, an example of which being the mobile phone, which has not only created a sense of dependency in us, but has also generated fashion and style. When we buy a phone, we look for one that symbolizes our personality, lifestyle, colour, or even simply one that matches our clothes. The designer plays a crucial role in enhancing and encouraging this symbiosis between user and object, creating several models in shapes, colours and materials during the complex process of the creation and development of a product. Designers not only help companies gain more customers but also satisfy the necessities of those customers. Now that you have become part of the design community, I take this opportunity to give you my sincere congratulations on this new step in your life. I want to wish you a successful future and I hope that your path is full of many triumphs. I also want to say thanks to all the 3D Design staff members – Eric Lim, Sandra Fie and Paula Silvan – for their continuous support and guidance while mentoring our students.
