Design excellence

I think this silver award winning product solves alot of problems of having quality fine wine experiences where its not possible. but mostly it solves the problem of wasting disposable cups as this wine glass is reuseable and 100% recycleable. and overall it really changes the image of "plastic" of being a poor and unstable material.

analysing the visual element of a product can really make a difference in a design being good or bad reguardless of the function. if a product looks bad then it is really hard to persuade people to buy it.

Human centered design

Product design has evolved in the last decades to instead of being a “product” it has personified. Designers are bringing them to life by giving them characters, attitudes and behaviours so that they can interact with our daily life. With the help of rapid technology evolution and growth the “man-machine relationship” has grew inseparable since that we have grow increasingly dependent on them.
In David Kelly’s video he brought to us ideas that further close in the gap between man and technology such as the office cubical which has been never changing for decades, that are mono colour, dull and boring; after re-designing it with the “human centered design” concept in mind into an interactive work space that also incorporates natural elements such as “The flower in the vase that wilts when you leave in disappointment”. The aim of this project was to design a cubical that is more suitable for a human need, the addition of the “homy touches” such as the fish tank, hamoc, and the punching bag with the boss of your chose (which is great humour).
Not only has the design in the product evolved, but also the design process. To put these “human centered design” into practice, designers now put more consideration into the ergonomic of the product and actually really experience the product themselves.
The method that designers communicate their products has also went through a big improvement of being 3D models and 2d rendering, it has stepped up a level into other forms of presentation that gives its audience a better idea of the personality of the product.

My Design Career

Ever since I was young I have always loved art. I loved drawing and experimenting with different mediums, exploring colours, shapes and forms. And this continued all throughout my life. It is something that I have been passionate about ever since I could remember and I practiced it before I could read or write. However when I thought about what I want to do for my career, I never found anything else interesting but art, the worst of all was that the thought of being an artist made me uneasy because I knew I was not cut out to be an artist, I didn’t have the skills or the artistic talent to really understand artworks or to create one. And this really freaked me out because I became lost and didn’t know what to do with my life. And so at one point of my life I gave up trying to be an artist but not my passion, it just meant that off I go to try different things.
In year 9 and 10 I picked up visual design and photography for my elective and it was at that point that I realized that “fine art” isn’t the only form of art. But there are design, problem solving, innovation, and simply observing everyday life made me so fascinated. It was then I found that I have a nature of observing my environment and questioning why things are the way they are, and that in my subconscious I would assess products without knowing and I would always find different ways to improve an everyday item to make life easier, and criticize the function and form, always looking for ways to improve them.
Sadly at this point I still didn’t know what I wanted to do, because I have never hear of the course “industrial design”. So I continued exploring possibilities with my life. So on to my senior years.
The subjects I chose for my senior years were pretty versatile, a bit of everything. Chemistry, visual art, hospitality, Japanese, math and English, and I wasn’t surprised that art came through as one of my favourite subject (tho now I know I am more of a design material). But what really amazed me was that, I loved chemistry almost as much as I loved art. My favourite part of chemistry is learning about how certain materials are made of looking at their molecular structure and what gives them certain properties for them to behave the way they are. Another point of chemistry that I really liked was how one factor in our environment could affect several part of our lives.
So during my HSC years while studying and figuring out what the heck am I going to do with my life was a battle of art and science, and then I thought… why can’t I have both?
And then, I found it, in the 2010 UAC book. UNSW industrial design, the study of design and science.
It couldn’t get any better.
As to why at UNSW not UWS or other universities
The Degree of Bachelor of Industrial Design from the University of New South Wales is recognised by the Design Institute of Australia.
That is pretty self explanatory
What I like about industrial design is that the future is uncertain. There are so many options I can choose from I don’t have to pick just one, also because I have not yet find at what field of industrial design am I stronger at. But that’s why I’m here. Right?

Task1

My impression of the mystery scent was of a feminine impression incorporated with a spring and autumn vibe. the scent camn on strong and then gradually fades and a defined floral and fruity impression came on.

For me this scent has a smooth texture and has curvy and wavy lines

the waviness on my final work came through really strong as well as the accending of the overall shape to emphasise of the first strong impression that dies gradually.

The floral shape has also came through to show the feminine figure.
