Japanese Design


Typically in Japan design is very minimalist with clean lines. They also use a muted color palette except for some more bold accent colors used sparingly. Japanese designers also like to bring the outdoors inside by using a multitude of organic materials, and using more natural light through the sliding screen doors. The mild climate of this country allows Japanese homes to have thin walls.

Gesture Drawings







Gesture drawings were always my favorite thing to do in art class in high school, so I was excited to do some in college. I love the messiness and the fast pace of the drawings.

Lighting



Olivia Cheung's light bulb packaging product is an important step towards green product design by using the idea of reusing light bulb packaging in the form of a light bulb shade. The design of the packaging is an art piece within itself with paper cut outs of flowers and insects. Instead of buying a shade made of non-recyclable materials, Cheung presents this idea of using the package as a shade. Unfortunately, by creating this beautiful shade made of recycled materials she is using nearly three times the amount of paper that would usually be used to package the bulb. Also when its time to buy a new bulb, the buyer would have to get a whole new package of bulbs including the shade. So are you really helping the environment by using this product or is it doing just as much damage as before?
