Design is Dangerous-Microwave

Safety is the most important part of the considerate factory of design. Even though design attempts to look for good ideas, functional design and achieve aesthetic, but nothing is important than using the product in a safety way. Since designers do not want to put users in danger.r.

microwave

I believe each family must have a microwave. It seems to be a convenient and necessary product in humans’ life. But don’t you know that microwave is an invisible weapon that can kill people’s life? As the doctor said microwave will produce carcinogen when people was heating their food. Seriously, it is hard to believe we are being insensibly killed. However, even if we know microwave will affect our health, why won’t the Government retrieve it?

Imagine you put a frog on the pan and turn on to big fire; of course the frog must jump out from the pan. But if you use the wax and gradually heat up the pan; the frog won’t feel anything at the beginning. However, when the frog feels some pain on its feet, it is too late to leave, since the wax already stuck on the frog’s feet. It is a metaphor that microwave is the wax, we are the frogs who are going to stick on the pan, even though it might take ten to twenty years to get a cancer. It happened in the hospital; when a nurse needed to help the patient to make a blood transfusion. In order to save time for thawing the blood, the nurse mistakenly used microwave to heat the pack of blood. Unfortunately, the patient died.

From what the Yahoo knowledge showed, using microwave to heat meat will create a carcinogen called d-Nitro Sodienthanolanines. Also after microwaving milk, fruit, and oat, it turns the amino acid to carcinogen. Therefore, microwave is a dangerous product which intentionally affect human’s health. 

Design should not be a danger and affect the society; design is useful, aesthetic, functional and innovative, as Dieter Rams said. Nowadays, people are seeking to have a high quality life, and produce so many kinds of products to achieve their demand. However, even though some products can bring convenience to people, it might have dangers that can affect human’s life. Let’s think of the day before the microwave was created, can’t we still heat up food a microwave? 

Design in Society-24 Rooms Apartment

A floor plan of Chang's apartment

“The house transforms and I'm always here; I don’t move. The house moves for me,” Gary Chang said. In a tiny three hundred and thirty square feet space by using a futuristic transform system, Chang can make any rooms and anything he wants.
He lives in a small apartment within Hong Kong. As everyone knows, Hong Kong is a small city with seven hundred million people. In order to have more spaces for people to live, tall buildings are everywhere in Hong Kong. Even though tall buildings can create more rooms for families to live, the space in each apartment is still tiny. Therefore, designer Gary Chang redesigned his apartment in a special way and made the seemingly impossible be possible. What Gary thinks of design is that he can make anything happen, but he cannot make it without an idea. His goal for creating this changeable apartment was by using a tiny space and considering it as a huge possibility.
This apartment can transforms to twenty-four rooms. Gary used the theory of movement to adjust the structure of the house and maximize the furniture’s space to promote a bigger extensibility in the apartment. The special thing of the house is each pull and push can easily turn the living room to be a kitchen and bathroom. For example, hiding the huge bed in the wall after he wakes up in the morning can provide more empty spaces and let the house look bigger. Also, he appropriately applied the natural sunlight to reflect in the house, which can save energy and create aesthetic warm color. Moreover, as Charles Eames said good design does not necessary about high costs, it is better that if the costs are lower without harming the quality. And Chang smarty use the nature energy as one of the design elements.
In Chang's design, you can see how fonts and contents work well together. Content is his idea to create more spaces and the font is the technique of how he designed the apartment. Good design has to break through the past design and have new ideas, rather than copying from the history. Gary's apartment is totally a good example of design. Design is an important element which can become a fashion that push forward and improve the society. It can also bring people a convenience and high quality life.

"Social design is design with the society in mind. Social design would be more reflective of everyone in the community, and the diversity and commonalities of our collective realities" ---by Msekhar

Using shifting wall units suspended from steel tracks bolted into the
 ceiling, the apartment becomes all manner of spaces 

The walls in the apartment's main room, awash in yellow because of tinted windows, are pushed against the wall to the left to create an open space, with CDs to the left and the desk to the right.

Color Transforms-Make up product

Color forms a major part of life and visible range of reflected light, which is one of the design elements, it can also be a design symbol. As you look at the stop sign in different countries, even you cannot read the words but you can still realize that is a stop sign. It is because the red color already symbolizes the meaning to stop. Also people use to give a name to symbolize the color that they are talking about. For example, when I look at the red color, I will immediately think of fire, and it does make me feel warm. Or if I look at the blue color, I will think of the sky with ocean. Also it makes me feel cool and peaceful. That is why people like to add more names with their feeling on colors. However, different people will have different color in their mind even they are talking the same apple red, because everyone has different color sense. Therefore, in order to solve the misunderstanding and knowing which color it is, Pantone is one of the color matching systems that help people to match the color and contact with one another. Imagine if you can only see black and white, how will you feel? As Marco Boschini, Venice said without colors, design may be called a body without a soul. Colors can make objects to become more aesthetic also can help to improve our life.

Make Up for Ever's HD Microperfecting Primer

Goethe's color wheel from his 1810 Theory of colors

Recently, I bought a make-up product called Make Up For Ever. It is HD Microperfecting Primer, a color corrector product for balancing the skin tones. The special aspect of this product is there are seven different colors for different people’s need. I bought the green color for minimizing redness on the skin. I think it really works because as everyone knows, colors are distinguished into warm and cool shades. In the color wheel, you can see how colors are transformed and interacted by others and colors are separated into primary, secondary and tertiary. Red is a part of warm color and green is the side of cool area. Therefore, when the green color covers on the top of the red color, it seems to balance the color and reduce the redness. 

Moreover, mauve color can counteract sallow undertones, which is the contrast of blue and yellow to balance the skin tone. Also, pink and yellow can help to lighten the dark complexion and counteract the sallow underneath the skin. Basically, this product is using the theory of color contrast to balance the skin color.

Zhihong Shen’s talks

Zhihong Shen, who is a professor at Wuhan Textile University in China, had a talk on Tuesday class about the concept of design through showing his graphic design works. Although it is only a shortly ten minute’s speech, he explained the concept so well.

His type of design works used the Chinese characters express the inspiration of design. One of his works really caught my attention. It is a poster about the idea of Art, which is a design include the technique of hand drawing and computer. The using of colors only included black and white. When I first looked at the picture, a question popped out of my head “What was that?”  I feel surprised because I couldn’t figured out what it is even I am Chinese. However, after he explained about it, I totally changed my mind and I started to appreciate his design. The letter in the middle of the page is a Chinese character means Art. The way he made the word misty since he wanted to tell people the principle of Art. It is represents no matter in anytime; designer and artist should not over designing. Because when a work carries too much technique, the work will come out with the misty message as the same idea of the poster. You can see how contents and forms work together by looking at this poster. The content of this  poster is the idea of good design should be creative but the technique is no as important as the idea.  Since technique is a tool to help for designing. And the most important of design is the concepts and ideas.  And forms is how Shen use the techniques to make the word fuzzy in order him to bring out the message to viewers.

Shen said design is a process and an action. First step before started to design, designers have to understand their customer needs. Also think the better way to express their idea, in order to achieve own great design.

Basis of Design-Canned Food

There are so many different kind of canned food in the market. No matter it is solid or liquid food, people can make it to become canned food. Canned food has a long history over many decades. Canned originally is dairy foods for soldier to eat during the war and urgent food for relieving people in stricken areas. Nowadays, as the society keep changing, canned foods become common food for every family. People seek to eat in a fast and simple ways. Therefore, the idea of canned food is easy to use also bring convenience to the costumers. The benefit is to save people's time to cook; they don't need to spend much time for the cooking preparation anymore, in order them to have a delicious meal in a short period.
The manufacture processes of making canned foods have to go though gas-separation, air-tight wrapping and disinfect. Canned are made of aluminum, which material characteristic is light, durable, lightweight, ductile and malleable metal with appearance ranging from silvery to dull gray, depending on the surface roughness, it is appropriate to store food. The canned on the top of the blog successfully  achieved productivity, which brought the idea of bring consumer convenience.

One of the important design processes is to evolutes same kind of the previous products, and knowing the product's advantages and disadvantages. Try to figure out the problems and solve them, in order to have its improve. The previous of the canned food package design, we need to use a can opener to help us open the cans, which is really inconvenience. Also the edge of the canned is really shape, people might easy to get hate when they was opening the canned. Therefore, nowadays many canned food company made many changes of the package. For instance, like the pulling key at the top of the soft drink cans. People can easily open it with their finger without using any tools. In which achieve the principles of ergonomics that the science of designing user interaction with equipment to fit the user.

Good design needs to be functional, reliability, usability, proficiency and creativity. Oppositely, bad design is not memorable and causes people feel confusing; users will easily feel difficulties with the products. As in this canned design, the worst problem is the surface design. Even though there are so many different brand, different size or shape, and different type of canned food, their outlook are all the same. That are really hard to recognize. For me to buy canned food in the market, I usually just picked the one with the highest prices. Since I think only the highest prices can have better food quality. The problem of this happens because the design didn’t use the surface of the can to publicize the product. Therefore, in order to catch users’ attention, it is better to make things differently and easy to identify. Even just redesign the outlook can make a big difference, that catch user's  attention.

Every people have their requirement of using the product. So before you get started to design, you have to think about the five areas of ergonomics research. Also whom are your target to design the product  and figure out what they needs.

PS: In spite of canned food are tasty, we should not eat too much. Since canned food is a manufacture food, over eating is not good for health. 

Examples of Words and Images combined

There are many examples in the society that words and images come together. Newspaper is one of the examples. Newspaper includes different type of news, accident, government report, entertainment and advertisement. All of these are combining words and images together. For instance, try to report a car accident event. Writers usually post some pictures about the accident, like take a picture of the place happened or illustrate the process of the accident happened. It can help the readers easy to understand. I have heard a writer said including a picture in the report is stronger than write a thousand of words. Words and pictures come together is powerfully to describe the situation detailed. No matter how’s your imagination are strong, you cannot think the same situation as happened in the picture. But only look at the picture without reading the words, you will never know how the accident happened.

self-work

Poster is another example of words and images combine. The goal of poster is selling product or telling information. Poster is a page of design, so it doesn’t have too much space to explain detailed. Therefore, is better to put important information instead of so much description. But in order to catch viewer attention, poster usually has an image below the words. Other reason for putting image because it can also achieves aesthetic. Therefore, words and images can’t be separate and have to be related.

Words and Images combined

To work for a comic’s book need to take many steps. First, comics transcend words and drawings; in Brian’s goal he thinks words and picture cannot without others because they have meaning on it. And it’s easier to explain and understand the idea. But it also can be write in different ways, have the pictures and try to guess the meaning can be another style of comics’ book.

How to use the language and comics get idea cross? One example that Fies gave was the page from his book Mom’s Cancer, which his mother was getting illness by the pictures that he draw. It is a page that included six illustrations. From the first to the last picture, it showed the chemotherapy cause his mom getting less and less hair until she had no hair. Without looking at the words you popularly think Fies just want to tell how his mom became sickness. But when you try to read the words, you know the idea is totally different. It was telling how her mom felt conflict and waver sense of responsibility for her illness. That’s a good example to support Fies that word and picture is meaningful. I believe word is to deliver massage and images is supporting the message that you tell. Also this picture remains me McCloud’s book Understanding Comics the concept juxtaposed pictorial and other image in deliberate sequence.

Brian Fies's Talks

Brian Fies have a talk on Tuesday class about comics’ book. He had written two comics book which called Mom’s Cancer andWhatever Happened to the world of Tomorrow. First he asked a question why it has to be comics, why he had to tell mom’s story with comics but not other media. He related comics’ book as rock music that impresses his feeling, because if you just listen to the music without pay attention to the words, you won’t feel the soul of it. Since music is just repetitive and lyrics poetry, it has to be combine for creating an emotional response. As comics book has to combine words and pictures in order to tell a story, which is other media can’t do it. In his speak; he said to be a good cartoonist you don’t necessary have to be a good writer or good artist, the point for that is the idea of what are you going to tell the audiences. You think you are good artist because you have the practiced skills or experiences, but don’t you know that there must be hundred thousand of people who are better you are, so how to make yourself to be special and unique. Which is make something that only you can do it, as Brian said the book Whatever Happened to the world of Tomorrow presenting him that is what he is, only him can do it.

Analyze a product Photoshop

Andrew said in the film Objectified that he feels designing is really the search for form, what form should the object take.

From the interview with Charles Eames, Madame Amic asked “Can the computer substitute for the designer?” Charles said probably, in some special cases, but usually the computer is an aid to the designer.

Photoshop is truly an example of aid the designer to create works. There are so many different kinds of software as Illustrator, Quartus 2, ModelSim, DSP Builder and Vectorworks, etc. Those are the method to help designer develop their works. As the most popular software Photoshop, it created by Thomas and John Knoll in 1987 and published by Adobe Company until 1990. It has been taken fourteen times to transform, the newest version is CS5. Each version has its unique logo; consumer will notice that is the newest version. The bigger improvement of the new version has improved the functions, especially compositing and select object. Here is the link from the website Youtube, it shows the steps how to use the tool to select the hair perfectly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUIcQ1nXkWk

Photoshop is a product that has been designed, but it also is a form to recreate another design works. Even though designer has a good program to help for designing, it doesn’t mean they can create good design. As the designer Dieter Rams said, “Good design should be innovative, useful aesthetic and understandable. Also good design is honest, unobtrusive, long-lived and consistent in every detail.” Design has to take many processes, and it is important to know what are the purpose and content that you want to bring to the audience. Without an idea and purpose, no matter how beautiful is the work; audience will not get the connection for it.

Form and Content: Objectified

How form and content work together to create the film “Objectified”?

The form it takes which have gave examples of different designer think of the design concept through different type of object. Visually support the viewer keep watch the film, background music is an important form which can’t leave without. It has connected an ending part to other new topic. Let the audience know the film is going to talk about other concept. Also from the title “Objectified”, we surely know it is about the design of any kind of objects.

The content of the film that analyzes designers thought, the concept and idea of what design really is. From everyday when we wake up, almost everything that we used, are all have been designed.

Andrew Blauvelt, who is a design curator, he talked about the concept evolution of design through the Japanese toothpick. A simple toothpick exists over thousand years, but the one in his hand was already improved, if you break off the top part which signified that was used, also create a tiny rest of toothpick in an aesthetics way. As Henry Ford said “Every object tells a story.” The style of the tiny toothpick created mostly because of the unique cultural content. Even through American people might use the toothpick in different ways, but the engage part of the toothpick is it expresses Japanese mind and behavior.

From the other designer Dieter Rams, he bought up a question why designer have to design? He point out good design should be innovative, useful and aesthetic design. Good design will make a product understandable, which also honest, unobtrusive and long-lived. Good design has to consist in every detail. Good design is environmentally friendly and as little design as possible.

Jonathan Lve, who is a designer in Apple Company, said when you look at something constantly. A question flow out in your mind why it is like that not like this. And that is the motive to help designing.

Design in different Terms

As we are designing, something we should think of before we get started.

First, what is the idea and impulses for create you works? What is the purpose and content that you want to bring to the audience? It is the main step in the whole design process, because design is able to bring message to the viewer. 

After that, you should think about the form, which is the best way to reveal the works. Knowing each term has their advantage, suitable term can help the viewer more understanding the design concept.

Next step is idiom, what is your style, gestures and subject matter. As creating a coffee cup, it can be so many different styles. 

Then we should think of the structure, how to put things together, what it needs and what isn't necessary have. As designing a poster, we don't want to include too much things. We just want to show the important information, which are benefit for the works. Mostly, it's better to summaries the main points and keep it neat and clear, since simple is beauty. 

After that is craft your work, applying the skill and practical knowledge. It's the time to find out the problems and solve them, getting the works done.

Last step is surface, which is the production values. Concluding all the process, can the work express the message to viewers.

A good designer has to have follow those steps, in order to create good works!

Comparison and Contrast

As doing this comparison and contrast, I did some research on the internet about different company's logo design. Here is the website include information about different famous logo. http://www.logoblog.org/logo-design-gallery/ 

I find big changers for the logo reform company was UPS (United Parcel Service), which is a famous postal delivery company in the world. 

UPS has changed its logo four times until now. The first logo was created in 1919 by designer Jim Casey. It showed an eagle carrying a package in its talon, mixing with two colors blown and yellow. It is an iconic that easy to understand what kind of company it is. As we discussed in class design is a conversation. That is exactly an example of what it means, through the icon bring out the message. 

Second Logo was created in 1937, the reason they redesigned because they changed the company name to United Parcel Service. Before that that, it's called American Messenger Company. This icon is different than the first one, which including letters in the shield with the word on the top" The delivery of merchandise for multiple retail department stores." The colors are the same, and the advantage of this since it can make the logo more stand out. Also it directly tells us the company name.

Third logo was established in 1961 by the brand designer Paul Rand.He did make a lot of changers and he did the way is totally different style. First is the color, he just did it with black and white. Simple shape with letters, but it also included the meaning of delivery. 

Lastly, the newest logo was designed in 2003 by Future Brand. The difference between this and the third logo is removed the bow on the top, to make it simple. Even though, I think it is also symbolize the image of the company, because the letters and the symbolic blown already told us what the company is. 

Differences between Art and Design

own works

Even though people think Art and Design are the same terms about creation, they are entirely different.

Design is a method of action, which is a plan that create works, showing how works to be made and how it works and looks. Design does not necessary to have to be creating new things, but it has to have a purpose for that. For example, designers try to motivate consumers to buy their products. Designer always has to communicate with their clients, knowing what they want and what they need. Design depends largely on constraint. Usually designers have to rearrange their works over times, for the sake of creating a suitable design for their clients.

Art is a skill that has a special ability, which is also personal and is self-expression. Purpose of art is a way for artists to express their feelings. Successful artists have to have a good imagination and proficient skills in order to create good works. But artists do not need to have a purpose to create their works, they can just do it according to their feelings or emotions.

own works

From both creators’ abilities, they do need to have skill, which is techniques to help for creating their works. But the most important thing for being a good artist does need to have innate talent, because that is essential for an artist to succeed. On the other hand designer don't necessary to have talent, they just need to achieve the objectives of design.

Design is an expression of the purpose and art is a way of expressing emotion. As interviewing Charles Eames about the topic “What is Design?” Charles said a good design can be judged as an art, which means a work achieves esthetics. As the Apple's computer, people buying them not only because it is functional, it also because it has a good out look. That's the reason why Apple can be successful. Although there are many gray areas between Art and Design, they are totally different discipline.

Design as Conversation

Conversation is a skill to express feeling and convey message to others.

Nowadays in the society, it is important to have good conversation skills, in order to communicate with other people and get involve to the society. Also it will help to become a successful person. Normally, people will think of linguistic is a part of the conversation. But beside then that, design is one of the bridges to communicate. Moreover, in some cases design is a stronger way than just using language to communicate and bring message to audiences. Lady Gaga is a good example.  In her VMA Awards show presented by MTV, she wore a meat dress which was full of controversy. But the reason that she was doing this because she want to bring out the message through an act, (which was bring out the message by the dress design) instead of just saying by mouth.

Design a poster for advertisement is an example of conversation; it is not only a paper work. Its purpose is to bring a message to the audience. Therefore, material conducted in the medium of drawing is required for design. As the famous artist Yoko Ono, she said that everyone is unique and different. Even though people think she did something shocking to make her special. But what she thinks is the problem isn’t come from how to become different and unique, is her way that how to share an experience and how to communicate through her works.

She made a chess set which is called “Play It by Trust” in 1966. The concept that she wants to bring to the audience is get chances to repeat the games over and over in a different ways. But how she made her chess set to stand out from different designs? Which is comes from her idea; she wants to make it simple rather than decorative. She uses this chess to represent human life. Normally, Chess is black and white, but life is not only black and white. Therefore, she choose the monotone white to create her chess, meaning is you will not recognize what is yours or what is theirs. So in this chess game, it is a way for you to convince other people who you are. Also it is a way to communicate through her design.

Where's my inspiration of Design?

A good designer need to have lot of inspiration, in order them to create good works. As I mention on my last blog about  how different designer get them inspiration from. And in this blog I would like to share with you about my own experience.

My interest is love to take pictures and printing. In the past few years, I thought of to be an artist or a photographer, which can work with something that I am good at. However, as I grow up started to get in touch with Design, I knew my career will be change. Because I feel design is more challenging to me, and I can create things with my own style also need to achieve the client's want. Moreover, I think Design can help people to solve problems and make their life to be easier. That's what picture and printing couldn't make it. 

But how do I get my inspiration from? Which is basic on my interest. Where I took pictures, I will discover something around me but I never paid attention for, also it's reminds me how beautiful the world is. On the other hand, painting can help me to express my feeling completely. I think the powerful of a paint is when you look at it, you feel something. For me, I think Design, painting and photography are all related. Those are the ways that I find my inspiration and increase my knowledge. 


Design is a not an end story, never and ever write the ending yourself!

Design from without...Inspiration

As a designer, we usually find our inspiration from the things around us. For example, the activity Stone Soup, that we did on the last tuesday, we were tried to use the materials surrounding us. And in class we have watched a short movie about a woman named Lisa Hoke, she was using the Plastic cups to create an Art for the gallery decoration, that's what she has her inspiration from things surround her life. And Jackson Pollock, who is an artist also a designer. He use to find his inspiration from his printing. As the photo took by Beaton named The New Soft Look, which is completely  an example to explain Jackson's personality and what his design style is. 

Other then that, I saw a blog on the internet, from http://jolie1118.spaces.live.com Which is a blog by Jolie, from China, who is a professional photographer. She loves to travel alone and take pictures, on her blog you can see tons of picture took by herself, which are really amazing. Even you just look at the picture, you can feel what message she wants to bring out. So that she likes to travel all around the world to help her takes good picture.

http://jolie1118.spaces.live.com

Therefore, I think inspiration is comes from the way what we have seen and what we have felt, which is relate to our life everyday. Even it's only a little things that we not use to pay attention for, such as plastic cups, plastic bag or towel papers. But once we start to think how to use those normal things to create other works, it will turn a simple to a high fashion.

Stone Soup...Yummy!!

On tuesday October 5, we have a activity in class which called Stone Soup. At first, I really don't know what are we going to do about that. The only thing that I know was bring a camera and something can work with. So that day I bought a little yellow duck which is a phone hanger and few color pens. 

At the beginning of class, Mr.Housefield told us a story about Stone Soup. Firstly the soup only have stone with the boil water, but then people started to bring food with them and throw it into the big bowl. Soon, the soup become more and more tasty. 

After the story, I believed what is the purpose of this activities for. It taught me that when more object put together, it can be many possible results. But if I only got one things with me, I couldn't even change anything. As the story stone soup, only have water with the stones. 

So we had our work started by sketching on the paper, and each of us got a different idea. Therefore, we tried to group them together. At first, we seems like a bit lost and don't know what to do. But then, after some parts were created, we kind of had the power to keep working on. As the food first put into the water without taste, but it needs to take time for cooking, so it become good. 

I really enjoy to do things like this, and I learned what design can be. Image design is like a box, but how can we tear the box to explode our idea. That's what we learn what design is. Overall in this activities, all of us really have fun with that, even the class was end, we still excited to tear it into a part. 

First Memories of Design

IKEA (Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd) is my first memories of knowing what design is. It is the largest and most famous furniture chain store in the world. What really caught my eye is the stylish design of any furniture. They all look fashionable and useful, as well as they are easy to install and separate. IKEA is a very successful company because most of the furniture has designed by many steps: from choosing the color, the function of the object, the object structure, and the way for packing and delivering. IKEA has thought of the best way to satisfy the needs of customers. When they design a room for the children, they would prefer to use more colorful elements and to incorporate some cartoon designs. Or when they design a working space for the adults, it is better to be simple and neat.

Design is a way to represent the life style and to express the personality, since everyone has their own taste and preference. For example: classical design, modern design, fashionable design, baroque design, continental design and simple design. Each look already represented people’s fond of style. Also they will develop a variety of skills and learn to be a better person from designing. It was because people will gradually discover the beauty of the world. Designers learned to be more confident through presentations and art exhibitions and they learned to be more conscious and attentive about the surroundings. Designing developed a better personality because people learn to appreciate others.

Design is Noun or Verb?

I think design can be either a verb or a noun. Designer creates designs. But before than that, people have been called them the designer; it was because they designed various kinds of things. And people won’t be called a designer if they did not take a process to design. Therefore, I think the verb and noun are both essential, although it needs to take the process first. This question makes me think of the scientific question, whether the eggs are existed before the chick is born or the chick is existed before it produces the egg first. Design is kind of an unknown answer to me, because it can be defined as everything.

Most of the people think Design and Art are the same things. But what I feel is totally different. The big differences between them are Art is more focusing on create things by their own mind, they paint or they do what they want to, so we called it is an art work. But Design are the opposite way of creation, people design object mostly listen by the user. They will think of the best way to create object. For example: How to make a chair look special and feel convenience? Even just a chair, there are many different type of chair design, base on what they are using for. Therefore, I like Design more than Art, because Design can help people to make their life to be easier and convenience. Also it’s more challenging.
