Life of A Designer

Objectified – Documentary – Released March 2009

Movie Description: Discover how manufactured objects that surround us such as cars, phones and chairs influence our daily lives with this revealing documentary, which features top industrial designers discussing their creative processes and professional objectives. Director Gary Hustwit (Helvetica) explores not only how objects get made, but also why they make us feel the way they do and how they can make our world better.

Review: Objectified is a movie worth watching whether you are a designer or just like design. The interviews with renowned designers are insightful and intriguing and keep you invested in the film all the way to the end. I recommend renting and then possibly buying.
