After i watched this video , i understand everything is designed! Bill Moggridge talks about what design is in general ranging from architecture to graphic design to fashion to interaction design and interior design. He talks about some of the processes and what is changing in design. Moggridge demonstrates how without bad design we wouldn’t be able to identify what a good design it. Examples of good and bad designs are shown as the video demonstrates how bad designers do not understand the design process.
Bill talked about the national design awards done in washington. some excellent design include architecture, graphic design, fashion design, introduction design, interiors,and product design. then he talks about the design disciplines. Bill provides some good examples of architecture such as Fransworth house which designed bu Mies van der Rohe. Frank Lloyd Wright’s contribution to design, designing the Guggenheim museum.also the Guggenheim Museum(1997)in bilbao which designed by Frank Gehry. which is a amazing building which contains complicated curve shapes. He also talks about Charles and Ray Eames and their contribution to design with their “lounge chair”. good designs should harness the subconscious mind; remember not to design for oneself; make prototypes and test things; design to understand people; design in contexts of personal, social and environmental matters.
Then goes to bad design, Bad designs are evident when there are apparent problems between interaction design and technological design, and the showcase example is a Japanese design organisation attempt to allow the function of mobile phones to purchase drinks from vending-machine, which proved to be very inconvenient to any users. and the showcase example is called i-mode service is a Japanese design organisation attempt to allow the function of mobile phones to purchase drinks from vending-machine, which proved to be very inconvenient to any users.however, it takes about nearly thrity five minutes to do it.
the key factors in the design process are understanding people and prototyping. the understanding people process include: Learn -analysing information that you have collected, Observational, Asking –engaging people, Try -experiment and build it yourself. the three stages of prototypling are, inspiration, evolution and validation.
lastly he talks about the way of design had been changing. there are three kinds of expanding contexts for design are personal, social, environmental. personal products expand to health and well being. the design of the places we live expands to social innovation programs. design for sustainable products expands to global sustainability.

Story board

video reflection- 3 stories.
this is 3 stories about a world obseesed with stuff. and about a system in crisis. we are trashing the plant,we are trashing each other, and we are not even having fun. The good thing is that when we start to understand the system, we start to see lots of places to step in and turn these problems into solutions. and then I whatched 3 videos: the story of cosmetics. the story of electronics. and the story of bottled water.
In story of cosmetics,Annie Leonard told us that she found out lots of cosmetics products contains few chemical linked to cancer.even baby shampoo does. and some products also contain chenicals linked to other problems like learning disabilities, asthma, and even damaged sperm. she said she tried to keep her family safe,but she found out her bathroom is a minefield of toxins. to find out the solution to solve the problems. we have go back to one of the key features of our materials economy: toxics inat , toxices out. taht means at factory, you pour toxic chemicals into a product, then you are going to wiin up with a toxic product. and toxics in workers.the cosmetics which we used everyday each product contains a dozen or more chemicals. there are resources online that we can use to protect ourselves by identifying the best possible choices in the store. but the real action to protect us is with people working to change the system. and the people all over the world ,we can giving the FDA the power to make sure taht our personal care products are safe. actually, many reponsible cosmetics companies are already putting safer products on the market.
green chemists are developing substances that are designed to be safe and non-toxic in the frist place. when cosmetics are refomulated to be dafe and labeled honestly, then we can feel comfortable with the choices available at the store.
In the story of electronics. Annie Leonard told us, designed for the dump means making stuff to be thrown away quickly. today's electronics are hard to upgrade, easy to break, and impractical to repair. and these dump designs are no just causing a pain in our wallets. they are creating a global toxic emergency! and the high tech industry is not as clean as its image. after its toxic trip around the globe, the gadget lands in my hands. and after years time i might be throw it away. and that brings to disposal. all this electronics is just waiting to release all their toxics when throw them away. some of them are slowly releasing this stuff even while we are using them. so almost all this e-waste either goes from my garage to a landfill or it gets shipped overseas to the garage workshop. so let's get our brains working on sending that old design for the dump mentality to the dump where it belongs and instead building an electronics industry and a global society that's designed to last.
In the story of bottled water, Annie told us, in many ways bottled water is less regulated than tap. these bottled water companies say they are just meeting consumer demand but who would demand a less sustainable less tasty, way more expensive product especially one you can get almost free in your kitchen.bottled water costd that two thousand times more than tap water. what the bottled water industry did one of their first marketing tactics was to scare people about tap water. next, you hide the reality of your product behind images of pure fantasy. and acturlly the third of all bottled water is tap water. and the bottled water is trashing the environment all along the product's life cycle. and start with extraction and production where oil is used to make water bottles. and after a long way to our hand. after we drinked it the big problem is disposal. eighty percent end up in landfills, or burned, releasing toxic pollution.and the real solutions is invest in public water infrastructure, prevent pollution, drinking fountans, water bottle boycott. so dont buy bottled water unless the water in your community is truly unhealthy.

my design career
The reason why I want to become a designer is influenced by my father, he was a good designer when he was studying in the university. Many products he had made were remarkable, and also gained patents. so he was highly praised by his professor. Since I was a little girl, I think I have the gift that he give to me, I like drawing and painting, I have painted on the wall, floor in my house. My father usually took me to see the art exhibition when I grew older. The products in there was so attractive to the little me.
After I finished my high school study at Adelaide, I had the chance that study Architecture in the University of Adelaide. I spent one year to learn architecture design, and finally realize that I don’t want to be an architect in the future. It is not a suitable study to a girl. Then I communicated with my parents and consulted with some designers which are my fathers’ friends. They introduced me to have a try on Industrial design after analysis my interesting and the preferences. I started do a lot research to find which university is better for learning this program, because there is no industrial design course in University of Adelaide. All the information I had that shows UNSW is the best choice I can start a new future in my career. The UNSW is the best university of industrial design in Australia. There are many outstanding professors and the equipment for study the program is the best that can provide me an extremely quality of education and environment. I did the application last year and be honored to receive the offer. So, I am studying design here now.
In the future, I would make a plan to travel around the world to learn the different culture, to understanding the design in there, especially in Europe, like France, Italy. These experiences will open my mind, give me more inspirations in my future design. Then I will go back to my home country start my own design which relate to children’s stuff, because that to design a lots interesting things was my dream when I was younger, I was always attractive by various kind of newness toys when I was a little girl.
