What do you picture when you hear the phrase “form follows function”? Do you envision an architectural structure? An artist’s painting? A toothbrush?
Clearly, we mean that form is the after-thought and function is the primary objective. Or do we mean that the form of an object is driven by its function?
When looking for ideas, switch between the two mantras, “form follows function” and “form vs. function.” Does your product change? Try to answer the question: Does the product have to change?
Wordpress is the function, the theme is its form. The form can sometimes be a separate product entirely.
