Week 4

Entry 1

Form Follows Function or Function Follows Form?

What is the meaning of Form ?
In design , the overall look of the design is form, including typeface, graphic elements, textures and so on.


What is the meaning of Function?
Function meaning that something is created for a certain purpose.

Form Follows Function or Function Follows Form ?
Personally I more to agree with Form Follows Function because in design, the first sight is very important to grab the attention of people. So, I preferred form follows function.
This is the graph that I founded from net.
