Black MacBook

wow!

Would Black the next main color for Apple products?
i don't know, but look at the black NANO.
They designed it by accident and it's away more popular than they expected!
Black is elegant, mystery and attractive.
I can't wait to see the really black MacBook :-)

Jananese Minimalism.

Japanese Minimalism

i would call it a "natural" minimalism.
why? if we look at the history of japanese "design",
we will see ,"minimalism" has dominate for a very long time.
(what i mean "design" here, include the architecture, crockery and so on)

what today the trend is, is not really a trend, but a tradition for japanese.

but where and what is the difference?
among the samples below, we can see: they used to choose a natural material and
show its real color.

"The Beauty of Unperfect" is also an important element of their traditional aesthetics. perfect geometric form is man-made and unnature. So they try to made a shape naturally pure, clean but in a more natural way. i think this is the main mentality of the japanese minimalism.

what do u think?














My Baby is still in vocation!



My Baby-IBM is still enjoying his vocation somewhere in south germany!
sun, strand, see, BBQ... maybe he just knew a new girl friend,
therefore he doesn't want to come back!

come on, my think-pad...I MIss U!!!

but maybe it is a gift for me as well. now i do have time to read
what i want to read for a long time.
i enjoy the peaceful evening with my novel and music.
It's really not bad :-)

Cool Material!

nowadays, CFM (color, finish and material) has a very important position in design.
some people even say, it's as important as the form.
here r a interesting material i just saw.

this is a new sort of concret. the light can come through the concret, that makes a amazing effect
with natural patterns!




A bad sample for Design















today i just bought a shelf. the photo bollow is a part of the shelf.
there r totally 6 small holes on it (left and right side) for the construction.
but the label covers the 3 holes the right side.

it happens not only with this shelf but also very often with the dishes or cutlery.
for the user, it is really unconvinient and uncomfortable to remove the label.
it's not designer's problem, but it tells many companys do not really copy how important it is to provide a userfriendly package for the markt.

the task of a designer is to think more with the scenario for the user, not only the product itself, but also the whole buying, openning and using experience.
