design for life is a great TV show, it is a competition between 12 young designers who are chosen by world famous designer Philippe Starke, the winner will stay and work for him. The mean idea of the series, according to starke, the winner will stay and work for him. The mean idea the series, according to starck, he thinks that the brits haven't had a new natonal design aesthetic since terence conran opened his first branch of habitat in the early 1960s. Therefor this time is a great opportunity to learn from him, both competitors and audiences. ' I shall open the zip of myself and say 'now take what you want'.
In the serious, i noticed that there has a strong trend in the future that product design is no longer for something expensive and aesthetic aspect, it is for people everywhere in order to satisfied Haman's need in an sustainable ways. As an designer, you need to consider the value of the product, if it's really need to be exist in the market, there has already too many useless products and our planet cannot afford it anymore. And 'you don't make good design if you think about design' said by starke, ' you make good design if you speak about life, sex, flesh, sweat.' that means to understand the subject, designers need to have lived a bit, you cannot simply design product with imagination.
The competition gave us an good understanding of how the design process went through, you firstly go on an internal search which is your own experiences and cultural influences, then go out for external search to refine your ideas, after that you will go for more specific technique supporting of your design,then you need to communicate with your target group in order to make sure meets their need. After several times of refine idea, then model prototype and whole other processes will support your final design communication. It is very important that you have a good time management and communication with others.
