Birthday Present Hints

As a design student, it is important to be aware that much of the environment does lie in our hands, becasue it is ultimately us who influence what and how people comsume. Personally, i realy like sustainable design, i feel rly inspired by our DIC lectures, and how the Body Shop encourages giving back to third world communites and not exploiting the weak and vulnerable. I love how they dont test cosmetics on animals because I think thats just wrong.

I believe that Pink plays a very sexual role in design as well. It connotates feminity, girlyness and in contemporary society, Metrosexualism. Different shades of pink however, connotate different things. Pale pink is associated with gentleness and fragility, whereas hot pink, for example, is more upbeat, which isnt realy my thing. Girls also have a tendency to gravitate towards shiny things such as diamontes and quirky double piercing earrings from asian korean shops such as the ones in Picadilly Arcade in Forrest Chase, Perth.Hence cementing the fact that diamonds are indeed a girls best friend

While we are on the topic of design, I must comment that the new Honda Civic is a very modernist design, and appeals to the majority of people. Its sleek body shape lends itself to better aerodynamism, hence reduces drag and saves petrol and the environment.

However, there is one vital ingredient to any design whereby a good design is only possible if there is this ingredient present during the creative process. A design that comes from the heart, and is created or given with lots of thought and love, will always be better than any design that came without a thought.
