As we entered the Design Museum, there is an interesting project that all objects made by wood. When I sit on or lied down on objects, I feel not so comfortable but it gives me a sense of like new view of world. For example, there is a seesaw but with opposite directions. We used to play with a face-to face way. But that is back-to-back. It is interesting when less interaction of eye contact.
Then I saw an interesting souvenir in store, which is a camera toy. Through the special len, we can see different version of world.
There are several sustainable architecture designs on the second floor. There are made by rocks, totally wood, even rattan. I think the rattan one is the most interesting. They also showed how the rattan is combined to proof water. It is a pity that I forget to take photos. There many material test and structure test in smaller or pieces model. For example, to bulid the roof of house, they build a real one but only a coner of it to test its avaibility.
I went to see the exhibition of Designer Maker User. It is a really fun exhibition with a lot of ordinary things. I am really enthusiastic about it.
I found it interesting that cigarattes package design has a huge difference between the previous time and nowadays. Before, it encouraged people to buy its company’s cigarattes. It is more like a advertisement. But afterwards, due to policy, it should warn people the danger of smoking. Design will be influenced a lot by policy. To be honest, I think China’s cigarattes packages are the most beautiful in the world, which contains so many famous landscape, Chinese painting, classic stories of China. And for each area, it owns their special brand, like Beijing’s Zhongnanhai, Jiangsu Province’s Nanjing.
It is amazing to see how typewriting developes. It is easy to recognize and use nowadays. Even if a little thing in daily life, it has a history to go.
I saw many different versions of same things like lamps, chairs, teapots. Some with improvement, some with just different forms.
There are many digital products on the wall, which were catagorized by time. It is really amazing to see how phone develop from a bulky thing to smart phone even if I had already know this before. It inspired me to take this way to show my iteration of design in exhibition or PPT.
