THE TIPPING POINT MAP

DIFFERENT FEELING

I have got in Dundee 2 months. There are many different things with china. I found Dundee is so beautiful and quiet. I love this city.

I never see so many seagulls in my hometown. Dundee's seagulls are so big and beautiful. I like them and take a lot of photograph about seagulls. Every morning I can hear the seagulls sound that's so nice sound. Because we just have a little time can hear the birds sound and we always can hear the cars' noise big city in China. I hate it.

Before I get here. I am very happy with Dundee is an along the coast city that is meaning I can eat the fresh fishes. But I can't find the fresh fish. Maybe the seagulls eat empty the fishes that is why seagulls is so strong I thinking.

I like here buildings. Every building is so lovely and most of the building are old building. I think everyone have a long story wait me the find. China is a developing country every thing is change so quickly include the building. Every year will have a hug new building finish and clear up the broken old building. Sometimes I like the old building more the new building . In other words the new and old building is stand the different life style I think.

Worker people alway working. Their life is work and nothing. If they lost their work that is meaning they will be lost many things. Everyone have a big pressure from social and family in China. So i think here's people is so luckily than my country people.

DESIGN HISTORY 2

On last Friday, I know that what should a designer know on our DESIGN HISTORY class .

At the begin, the teacher ask us three questions:

-What's this get to do with design?

-What could this have to do whit design?

-How can design stop, could, change, high something?

In fact, I can't understand completeness. But after the game and the teacher explain what I think I know those mean if I understand right.

The easy game tell me people can easier remember the short word about the story than the long word no contact. The numbers is the most different to remember. The same way use on the visual, if we just degustation, touch or smell. we can't get the right answer. So most verbal communication is redundant and redundancy is not just verbal or visual.

Redundancy and design:

-Messages with high degrees of redundancy are easier to understand.

-Design that is "familiar"is more easily accepted.

-If we miss the message that we can "fill it in other word".

-Entropic message don't travel very well.

- Modern art is "entropic" until we get used to it.

-"New" design is entropic. This is not always good.

Sign is just sign, it has not any message. Designer should give the sign message instead of the word.

Like the Maslow's Hierarchy of human need. The designer is stand on the top of self-fulfillment. But how do we do? In my opinion . First, we should expand our knowledge . Second, we should add our life experience. At last ,we should watch our life and love our life.

That is all my thinking about the lecture on 25 september.
