upcycling










At the first i wanna use the lid to do the fruitbowl.but it doesn't look good compared with using the smaller rings.Finally,i used the wood lathe to cut the electrical pipe into rings,and to burn needle to punch holes.Then, using the golden wire connect the rings.






it is different from other fruitbowl.The material is really waste.

Richard Seymour + Dick Powell: Designing dream machines

The most interesting part of this vedio is the design process of the scooter (suited to conditions in India).Richard Seymour and Dick Powell looked back to the India culture,its life and physical needs.By considering many aspect, they've got their final product.The reason why they did the research is trying to find the idea which is exciting enough to its target market.The ability of finding this sort ideas must be the basic element of how to be a succeed designer.

Another part inspired me a lot is the X factor,"the initial impact the products has upon the comsumer when it is first seen.The way we should learn to our product is how to catch the eye sight of the client.

Before i watched this vedio, i did not really understand why we need to do the eco design.even though noticed wasting is a problem , i could never realize how serious the problem is . The most incrediable example is radio which just cost $4.99.However, the externalized true cost for this product is losing the nature resources and the clean air,rasing the cancer rate even our further generations.As Annie said“People created it, we’re people, so let’s create something new” .As a designer , we should shoulder the resposibility of doing eco-design as much as we can.In other hand, it is better to educate the public thinking more about the environment rather than how to be more fashion by buying a bunch of stuffs.

postal design




i designed a fruit bowl which can change to be a lots of shapes.at first, i thought to do a


vase . however, i v got this idea and then the idea of this friutbowl comes out.




the material i choosed is the plastic sheet for the small pieces and the wood for the bases.the reason why i choosed these kind of material is that it is strong enough.
