1. Amy Watkins Critical Report Presentation Aesthetics In Design

4. How we are effected aesthetically depends entirely on how we live. Our role in society will reflect our tastes and desires within design, and how we want to be perceived will be represented by what we find aesthetically pleasing, and what we rely on for functionality, as aesthetics are controlled by our senses, how we approach objects and products is related to our status and lifestyle.

7. “ If we wish to discern whether anything is beautiful or not, we do not refer the representation of it to the object by means of understanding sense, united to delicate sentiment, improved by practice, perfected by comparison, and cleared of all prejudice, can alone entitle critics to this valuable character: and the joint verdict of such, wherever they are to be found, is the true standard of taste and beauty.” (Hume, 1965)
