VIDEO REFLECTION

The story of stuff

After watched this video i learned material economy, and some social issues in our society.

1.  We have too much material waste in our society, which lead our society have too much pollution. 
2. People has a lot of products today but the national happiness going down.
3. The recycle issue .

For the waste material and chemical are really affect my mind , i am learning design course , dose here have some smart idea to solve those problem. As very great business man says : in the 21st century, young people have duty to solve the social issue .

As a design student ,when i design a product i have to deeply think about  how my design can makes people happy . how long my design can last in peoples' normal life . is it useful or just design for dump.

In the recycle part , in my follow projects i will very carefully think about how to let my products become the true recycle and as simple as it can be .

The story of electronics  

I really like the sentence in this video :  DESIGN TO LAST. From this video i have learned some social issues about the electronics .

1. In now days , technology developing very quickly. However , the electronics waste is a big issue in our life 
2. Electronic products are contain toxic which harmful to human's life.

Electronic waste issue. in the video show in the Europe , factories are take the waste electronics products back.it is really great idea. However , i am think about :in the Japan , if people want to chuck away the electronic products , they need to pay the fee. For example. if a family want to chuck a 10 years old fridge they pay very expansive fee which nearly same price as a new fridge. This is really brilliant idea to stop people shopping new electronics . Can government come up a rule that all the Factory need to take the electronics their electronics products and consumer need to pay the recycle fee to Factory. Further more , government should educate all the people , that we need to take responsibility for our next generation. save the natural resources and protect our environment.

For the toxic products , as a design student i will carefully choose the materials  avoid  use all the toxic materials . 

 The story of cosmetics 

In this video here has so many unsafe products and here have no particular law to protect health . In the long run , it is very necessary for government come up new laws.
As a design student, here has not much i can do , only thing i can do is , when i design the packaging high light  the harmful elements.

 The story of bottle water 

After watching this video i have learned about water bottle

1. The bottle made by oil 
2. The bloody bottle water's companies seducing us , scaring us and misleading us to buy the water bottle.
3. How the water be recycled 
4. How the government treat the water bottle pollution issue .

It is really luxury use oil to making the water bottle, oil is limit nature resources ! As a design student , what i can do is designing new packaging for bottle water.

It is lack moral for the factories to  seducing us , scaring us and misleading us to buy their products. A good business should not do that . in my opinion , government should let school add courses about how people takes responsibility for environment , human health , ect .So ,when the students graduate from school to society they will burden other. which means whatever job their are doing in the future , they will not seducing,scaring and misleading people for the money purpose.

I am really sick about how they recycle the bottles, put rubbish to other countries! it is not a right way to recycle it . what a design student can do is find 100% recyclable material instead of using oil to making bottles or design a new green packaging for the bottle water.

For the government, they should do what video suggested.This is peoples' word not few government officer's world , they should pay attention to hearing people's voice .
   




  

FEED BACK 3

TUTOR :

1,Put drawings and development process in the rationale . Analysis the stats , put the user instruction in the back of package , do more research about brands .Do more research about labellings.  

2,  Reference need footnote in the bottom page of rational, show all the development in the rational ,
put marketing knowledge in the rationale,High light the features in the rationale.The package is too big and it takes too much room in the laundry , change the shape of the package.The square entrances can change to be circle .

PEER 1:

The packaging is too board and not creative , although , it is so hard to shipping . 
 

FEED BACK 2

TUTOR :

1,It is right direction
2,Set the pick up area in the bottom

Peer Feedback:

PEER1:

The cylinder shape may be not easy to contain the detergent pods.Use cylinder is too complicate change the shape of the packaging.

PEER2:

It is good ideal to connect all the individual detergent pods . However , use cylinder may hard to take product out of package. 

WPR-FEED BACK

TUTOR:

1.  Didposal design is not relative to the social problem.
2.  Ideas are so bord .
3. Do more research about social problem
4. Focus on antifreeze

Peer Feedback : 

PEER 1:

1. The idea of changing detergent pods' packaging is very interesting. I Thought it was candy. Also , the antifreeze is common idea.
2. The idea of design the packaging for the heart disease people with trembling hand is useless and shape too boxy. try to add some curve elements.
3. The idea of disposable container is nice thinking but usually not work probably.

PEER 2: 

1. The idea of changing the antifreeze packaging :Do not use red,yellow and blue for the package.
2.  Do not like the design for the heart disease people with trembling hand.
3. Do not use PVC for container , it is poison people while they use it.

PEER3:

1. The idea of changing detergent pods' packaging if it works will be fine. make it hard to open it , use the push down and squeeze capsule to design the packaging.
2. The idea of design the packaging for the heart disease people with trembling hand:the box maybe open in the bag when people do not wanna use it.
3. For the antifreeze try to design it big enough then kids will not able to hold it !

Week 2 - WPR

ANTIFREEZE!

The shape of packaging and colour can affect people drinking

1.Curve glass shape affect people drink more and fast :
 Hundreds of news sources around the globe covered the findings, many of them changing the story slightly to report that people drink more (rather than faster) from a curved glass.
The Bristol team invited participants into the lab and asked them to drink lager (or lemonade) from a straight class or a curved one, while watching a nature documentary (a BBC one, I'm happy to report). They also asked their volunteers to judge when the glass was half full. The results of both were clear, participants finished their drink of lager sooner in the curved glass. They also judged the halfway point as being lower down the curved glass than the straight glass – suggesting a reason for the faster drinking: if people thought the glass was fuller than it really was when then they would underestimate the rate at which they were drinking.

2.Shapes can have impact on favour:

Manufactures of food and beverages know that if they apply the right shapes on packaging and presentation, sales volumes will go up! They understand that when shapes, designs, colors and even words and aromas satisfy our sensorial expectations on taste and flavour, and they are then doing a great job for the company because their sales grow.

The shapes and colors consumers see on labels, the shape of food and beverage packaging, the plates on which the products are served and even the form in which the food itself is presented have a strong impact on the response of consumers who subconsciously make hedonic choices when it comes to taste/flavor choices.

It was previously suggested that the colors and shapes of product packaging can be just as important, if not more, than any text/descriptions, in terms of setting-up expectations (whether consciously or otherwise) about a product’s likely sensory qualities specially on account of the little attention consumers give to some labels (e.g., back labels on wine bottles).

The theory here is that under the majority of conditions (molecular gastronomy restaurants excepted) consumers tend to prefer products if their taste, aroma, flavor, and/or oral attributes match their sensory expectations.

Similarly, a number of other beverage products appear to use angular red shapes, frequently a star, sometimes a triangle or pyramid, in order to sub-consciously signal to the consumer that the contents of the packaging are carbonated (and/or bitter-tasting).]

2.Colour :

How has color been used in molecular gastronomy? At The Fat Duck, Heston Blumenthal plays with color in his “Orange Jelly” dish to make diners believe a purple-colored jelly is beetroot and an orange is orange when in fact the reverse is true.

What Looks High-Quality:

http://daddu.net/the-power-of-colors/

What two colors make people want to drink?

It's believed that yellow makes people want to drink liquids, although blue and green tend to be popular for beer while red is most popular for cola. It depends whether it's about thirst or sweetness or something else.

http://www.chacha.com/question/what-two-colors-make-people-want-to-drink

From all those articals, i read from the internent.i decide in my design not have any elements of curves and red,grean,blue,yellow.

Giving packaging a new life

HOW IT'S MADE–PACKAGING

Design is a course of life and it enhances better lifestyle and convenience of life.  Those videos are amazing because they bring me to the attention of people’s daily life, what people uses and wastes every day.

Cardboard boxes

It is really brilliant to recycle the cardboard boxes into beautiful tissue boxes. This shows how we can transform waste material into the new packaging for alternative usage.

QUZ: Also, I have a question is how we recycle the tissue boxes?? should we recycle to making papers?

Packaging tubes

This video opens my mind to think about packaging. In the industry today, there are various ways of packing liquid goods. The using of packaging tubes can reduce the packaging weight and assets, and the transport cost. 

Tetrapack

Tetra pack is one of the most popular packaging in these modern days. In this video, tetra pack shows its advantages: classic physical look, easy to be transported, compare with glass bottle it has bigger volume, and it keeps liquid products last longer. However, everything has two sides. Tetra pack is hard to be recycled, if we don’t carefully recycle it, it may have bad impact to the water and clay or even animals.

Recycling

I don’t really agree with putting the litter under the ground to deal with rubbish. The non-biodegradable rubbish will stay under the ground for many years. Some rubbish might produce chemicals that damage the clay. In this video, as a design student, I learned that I should pay attention to choose the material used for my design, I have responsibility to use green material, design useful products which gives value to people from generation to generation, to eradicate the need for joining underground recycling party.

Aluminium cans

In my personal opinion, aluminium cans play a very important role in our food storage. However, aluminium is harmful if it gets into our body. Thus in my future design, I will minimise or if possible avoid to use it for kitchen products.

Glass bottles

It is interesting to know what the glass bottles are made of. Glass bottles need to be recycled very carefully because each we recycle can light up a 100wz light bulb for 4 hours.

Before, I thought industry design is just to design goods but watching those videos I see that not only the public but the designers too have the responsibility to keep the environment.

Plastic bottles and jars

I really like this part which shows how they test the plastic bottles and jars.

The elasticity of plastic highlights how I should consider more precisely about the shape of the product when I design.
