MashUp

Angela Merkel, Miranda Kerr and Helen Keller are international celebrities: Germany's first woman chancellor, Australian supermodel and America’s first deafblind person who enrolled at an institution of higher learning. Realising dreams, superwomem with a safe pair of hands, battle for the world financial markets, making of the technology to enables blind and deafblind people direct and independent communication. Living on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch, they fight against climate change. All women, regardless of their shape and size, had to feel confident within themselves and what they have got.

EXP2 Reflective Writing

I have choosen to talk about the Disconnected Shadows which is presented in the lecture. I think it is interesting because it shows that inspiration can be from anywhere as long as you pay attention to the things happening around you. Observation which requires a lot of patience is important in designing. And with sufficient information from observation and researches, one designer can develop ideas which require creativity. Apart from this, this case also showed us the creativity is to take risk. Experiment is crucial in developing creativity and could be innovative towards the final product.
I think I should learn from this case and be a good observator and be more creative throught taking more experiments.
