design festival


The reason why i choose this design is because it comes with the quote ” a vase is like a cage for the flower” and because of that quote, i feel very wow and this design, had indeed shout out the quote. A vase, doesnt neccessary have to be made up of glass, doesnt have to be very nicely design.. if according to the quote, a vas acts like a cage, then..this design had already speak for itself with simple wire messed up, to trap the flower inside.


As for this poster, when i first saw it, examine it..i realised that..its using chilli, to describe about growing old. From a young green chilli, it starts to grow. and grow. until it reaches it’s youth period where it will go through alot of experience. people will like it. because its bright red. because its the most spicy. it being well-liked by many..However, even a chilli will carry on its life. it will start to rot..and eventually..die off.
By then, nobody will want or even fight for it..The topic for this poster is..” Aging.”
But instead, i see it as..” nothing is permanent.”

interaction design week2

What are your methods?
-A day in the life

What did you see?
As a shopper myself, i was irritated by so many trolley thats being placed around without anyone attending to it, blocking the path. When i visit the NTUC,i only go to sections where i can get the ingredients quick and get moving out of the crowded and uncomfortable place. Would rather take a longer path with lesser obstructions compared the to the shorter ones and having to say excuse me to every single shoppers.When queueing for the payment, it was the most headache as many other shoppers each rented a trolley to place their items in it..hence, its too big and blucky that it slows down the movement of other shoppers whenever they walk past the cashier as the space was extremely small. I also see that its very time consuming for the shoppers to remove the items one by one from the trolley and place it on the counter whereby the casher can scan the items. (everything is too slow and disruptive to everyone.)

What did you learn?
I learn that shoppers tend to be irresponsible with their stuffs by putting the trolley along the path, blocking others (especially when its an abandon trolley) The movement of the shoppers were too slow and inconsiderate to others as majority of them rent a trolley to contain their items.even if its just a few that could be carry around easily.

What did it mean – your insights?
From my own understanding and observation, i notice that majority of the shoppers only visit the supermarket with an intention of preparing something, or just to satisfy their needs/wants.They would never shop in a crowded place whereby even walking could be a problem. Its even more annoying when they have to wait for the horrible queue thats so time consuming it could take probably 10-15 mins just to pay for a bottle of drink. (very problematic) Some inconsiderate shoppers rented a trolley just to contain afew items that could be carry around with hands or basket, yet, they choose to slow the movement and causing a jam here and therer.

What do i desire?
good results more
sleep more more

thoughts less
