Comment on: Wind, Sand and Stars “The Tool” by Antonie de Saint- ExupĂ©ry
The Wind, Sand and Stars âThe Toolâ by Antonie de Saint -ExupĂ©ry, tells the reader how design is not to only to add, but to take away as well. This sentence from the chapter âto refine the curve of a piece of furniture, or a shipâs keel, or the fuselage of an airplane, until gradually it partakes of the elementary purity of the curve of âa human breast or shoulderâŠâ, shows that there are elements that are necessary to make an object function to achieve its purpose. It connects to our graphic design principle and our everyday life, because in drafting it will take many hours and it will not be complete if elements are missing from the objects. The key is to start with something simple where you can go back and change. It will eventually take you another step closer to the finish line.
