project 3: upcycle

This project i use unused paper clips to make a fruit bowl. The material that i found it from reverse garbage. This material original are for office use, the function is to clip/put the documents together as a folder, is silver color. The reason that is a west are it lack of parts, color are getting fackout and tanish.

Before i choose this idea i had play with other materials such as old CD, egg box, button and bottles,which are want to create CD lamp/CD holder/chair/hanging light and a hand bag. however the results are not as good as the one i choose for finial.

The finial design it used about 400 pice of paper clips. a lots of people ask me how can build up the structure, the answer is i used finishing wire. the reason use that is it invisible which it won't destroy the outlook of the fruit bowl.

（i don't know why the image／poster that i post up the color it change，my original poster is not like that！）

project 2:Postal Presents

Poster:

This is the first time making bag, i call it sue's folding bag, maybe i should call it "compartment storage" because it does looks like a bag.

This storage can be fold in to an A4 envelop, the size smaller than A4, dark blue color( i don't know why the image that i post up alway changed color by the computer). This is a great gift for a friend, mostly for a girl. this storage you can hanging to the wall, you can put any small things that you want such as make up stuff, is easy to store, it can fold up if you don't want to use it, this storage is not heavy at all, when you fold it up the design looks like an hand bag, small, easy carry and smart.

Assembly Instruction:

Ross Lovergrove: Organic design

Ross Lovergrove is a designer that focuses design on organic form. He said " i am the captain organic" shows that he's passion of form. In this vedio he shows how from can touch people's soul and emotion.

In his design he created alots of intelligent from. but his work is purely instinctively not a scientist. He also is 21st century translator of technology into products that people use everyday which relate beatifully and naturally.

His design philosophy is DNA which is design natural art. lot's of his design is insprit from natural growth patterns. Such as "water bottle" this is the concept of DNA it shows he's impression of water, is icon of water.

Another interesting design is a "City car" ingenious idea by use sola power. this car has no enging, less material, sustainable and useful as car and street lamp.

Overall, Ross locergrove's design aim for fat-free which is healthy and efficient products by using less material and unique form. This is a emotional talk, which it guild me look at design from a new world and teach me by doing a design not just looking at things that have product also have to look at natural's which some time can gives alot's of idea of design.

Bad design

This classic and sensible styling tub and shower set is chrome finish. Modern design and easy clean but badly to control.

the problem of this design are no label for water temputer, no sign for operating system.

However this design can be improve by adding labels on the water temputer operate and changing shape of water controlling system to tell the user which part is for shower head and which part is for barth tub.
