project 2.

New Project : Make it Better, Design for $5.00. :)

my team members & i  cant decide between these two objects, 3D Glasses & A little magnet container, here are photos. :)







but during class we watched, IDEO deep dive video . :)
& it was pretty interesting to see the IDEO team reinvent the typical shopping cart. 
It takes lots of teamwork to redesign a product, out of the box ideas are encouraged. 
You have to meet deadline & it takes a lot of brainstorming to come up with the final product!

i cant make you love me,

It's hard to watch people change right in front of you, But the worst part is remembering who they used to be. & all the memories w/ that person start to replay in your head & it’s just there. Lingering. What more can you do? All you can do is let it go & remember them as what “used to be”.

Dear you,

" I’m different, I promise you I’ll try my best to keep up with your life even if I’m not really in it anymore. I know I may be miles apart from some of you, and we may not get to talk that much anymore and maybe we’re not even close friends. Maybe you don’t even consider me a friend, maybe you consider me a best friend; who knows? But I promise you that if you were once part of my life and meant something to me, I’m always going to be here. No matter what we went through, no matter who you are, and no matter how long it has been, I understand people change, mature, grow up and go through experiences that are unexplainable. Trust me, I’ve been through it all. So if anyone needs someone to listen, talk to, or even just give some advice go ahead and talk to me. Things won’t change. "
--- i found this on tumlbr somwehere, and as much as i want to be an ass to you and treat you like dirt, that just not how i role. so ill try, not for you, but to overcome this phase and know that i can do better than for what i settled for. but this goes for anyone who played a significant role in my life. <3

"I’m mad at myself, not you. I’m mad for always being nice. Always apologizing for things I didn’t do, for getting attached, for making you a huge part of my life, wasting time on you, depending on you, thinking about you, wishing for you, dreaming of you, changing for you. And most of all, for not hating you when I know that I should. - ex0rcist, (via tumlr)

it's just one of those days.

i dont know why im feelings like this or why i keep wasting my tears. but tonight is just one of those nights where everything comes fluddiing back in & i cant help but cry and think back to three years ago.
im trying my best to live life. but everything always comes back to you. i dont know why i cant let it go, its not that i dont want to, but more like i dont know how to, just thinking about you makes me so mad, yet its all i can do,
i dont want to be those girls who cant let go and move on, i dont. im trying my hardest.

but tonight is just one of those nights where you just cry and let everything out.

I got to Kansas City around 5:15pm and waited for Shoua and the girls, then we headed out to Sakura! yay! we had yummmmy sushi! them after that we went back to shoua's house and just chilled like villans. & i didnt make it to my sisters house until almost three. we both KOed.

by design,;

Reading #1, By Design, Toothpicks and Logos, & Understanding Design.

My main-points,
- Design is a process for making things right for shaping what people need.
- Design is everyday life, it affects everyone & result from the choices of human beings.
- Design takes creativity and analytical reasoning, problem solving, learning, evolution, and a social process. 



you gotta love design <3

objectified.


During last Monday's class lecture, we watched the film "Objectified."
Can i say it was a neat film about design and the process of it all. 

Main Points I got from the video:
- Every object speaks to whom puts it there.
- Design is moving. 
- Design takes Teamwork. 
- Design is always changing. 

:)

What makes good design?

Dieter Rams : Ten Principles for Good Design.
Good Design is,
- Innovative
- Useful
- Aesthetic
- Understandable
- Unobtrusive
- Honest
- Long Lasting
- Thorough
- Environmental Friendly
- Little Design As Possible

After reading this, I had an idea of what "good" design is, but the question was, how can i pick out a "good" design. I can use this as a guide, but a "good" design may not fit all of the qualities. All of these are great quality and traits in a design. Everything is designed wether its good or not. Everyone finds a purpose and usage of everything.

For our first project I started off with 5 items, lint roller, alarm clock, keys, wedges and my desk chair. We did sketches of them and were told to do more sketches of "good" design. I decided to sketch measuring cups and this became my object of "good" design. I chose this object because of the many different positions you could draw and the fact that it would be different and fun. Little did i know that i would get tired of drawing of the same thing for weeks. Nonetheless my object fulfills its purpose of measuring. The design isn't fancy, but its simple and unique. It feels good in your hand and its sturdy. It also has variety of sizes to measure.

Don Norman - Designs That Make You Happy

- Designs should be simple beautiful and useful/functional.
- Design is clever.
- Design if fun.
- Design is pleasant & simple.
- Fear and anxiety changes the way you think.
- Intense fear paralyze your brain.
- Design is subconscious , behavioral, reflective.

Design should be fun. Don says that when your under pressure your less likely be able to work because of the anxiety and stress, but when your happy results are guarantee.
