Research Methods

I have learned 3 different ways to do research last Friday. It's good to know that there're more ways to do not only research from library or on internet. What is more, is I can use what I've learn to make my PDF research for the GFD project as well. I learned how to convey a message by drawing a picture, and to see my classmate pictures can inspired me a new idea. What I like most is to interpret my target audiences from using the silhouette and a tracing paper,the outcome was brilliant. And when everyone stick their own tracing paper at a wall ,grouped by the different target audiences, I called that a "Visual Research".

This is how we convey message by a picture.

tracing your target audiences from their style,amazing that just see these objects and you can guess what target audience group it is.

After the morning workshop, I did this GO GREEN by using tracing paper and a picture to interpret my target audience and a message,which is a style people 20-30yers old and "Go Greener" message

Hoooreyyyy!!!

Finally, I have done the collages! After those first 20 , I posted last 2weeks. Today I finished all f them! I have to hurry finish them in this weekend due to the coming GDF project,that's a lot to do more.

Supermarket Sarah

I totally in love with idea of turning your house wall to be an internet window display. I very love the style Sarah did of this 4 themes , very cute work! Plus, you can click on every items there, but I'm a bit too late, both shoes I want are already sold out when I found her web. And hey! I just find out that her house is around the corner of Portobello Market and she said "it is now overflowing with treasures and delights and she welcomes visitors with tea and cakes." Hmmm I must visit there sometime :)

Another nice work from Flickr

There're many people who become famous from blog or social network. Many brilliant works been posted in blogs everyday..I love to search for these people and enjoy to see their works,they didn't called themselves an artist or famous one,they just post and post their works in this cyber world. This photographer has an amazing idea of put the christmas light inside the shirt ,and it turned out very awesome !! Also the scene ,the colour and the feeling are all perfect. Take a look yourself and find out more on his Flickr page!

I love Paper Craft

It's a pop up calender from Johann Volkmer , a danish designer. I'm the one who obsessed about paper craft and all the pop-up thing. This video shows all the process of making this pop-up, not in a very detail and it seems not as hard as you thought but I bet it will.
