what is design by david ngo.

"what is design?"

i blieve, every of you has asked or answer this quetion.
and everyone has different definition of it.

color? shape? function? usability?

here is a funny, but exellent video from david ngo (a design student of stanford)

he is trying to use simple examples and jokes to explain what is design for him.

let's check it out!

Let's talk about iMac: style, details and then?

the new iMac


at the first sight, the rough shape havn't been changed a lot.
but the whole image has become very different.
the old one

is home-like, clean, humanlity, warm...
but the new one is cool, high-end, extrem-minimalism.
we can say, it is a mix of G5 and the old iMac.
it is a level-up of the old iMac. every-thing is integrated now, in a best way.

what interesting is, iMac is actually the low range product of apple desktop.
it means, the next G5 should be much more high-end than iMac now...
i am wondering now (ha...but i am nor doubting their design ability...)

weather it is the right direction for the home user? i am not sure.
it just like a plasma-TV. very high-end, though for home user.
maybe, the home user just want to have a higher end, than they do.

the details:





same with the G5, i guess, the IT-Giant Foxconn has produced the iMac for apple.
all details are amazing resolved (really amating!)
the airing is just like G5.

the most interesting is, the black part:
silver and black, appear for the first time in apple computer.
but not first in apple product.
mabe it is inspired by ipod or iphone. (opinion by weham, designer ASUS)

and u can notice that, front black part makes the frame thiner!
that's the purpose, why they need a big black area there.

and sure, the material-color-combination makes the design more high-end.

will they have a different color of iMac for home user?
or a MacBook in silver and black? let's wait and see!

buy a MacBook now? no, wait for the Multi-touch Mac Book

Apple just applied a patent for MacBook with multi-touch pad.

If u want to buy a MacBook (just like me)...rather wait ;D

her comes a new toy...yohooooooo

IDEA Award 2007

IDEA (International Design Excellence Award)
one of the most important design award (especially in the usa)

the different taste (derection) between IDEA , IF or Red-Dot, i think, we can betoken it as the difference between us-design and euro-design.

if u look at the idea, u will find, their design is not as clean, as perfect as european design,
HOWEVER there are more new, breakthrough ideas behind the design.
they try to be more progressive...(maybe it is just the us-character...i dont know)

anyway, it is very interesting to view it ;DDD

Want+Waste

If u ever cooked, u will like it ;D
while cooking i always produce a lot of waste.
how can i keep every thing clean, is alway my target.
waste+want simple, but it helps (i guess)

cheer to all hobby cooks

we cooked, drank, sang, celebrated

this was the first trial of the designer "jamie oliver" (me ;P)

yesterday we have celebrated for our first master ( kristin ) and the birthday of grit at merian and uli's apartment.(it is really a coooool apartment ) i have cooked super hot spicy chicken curry... see the photo below...well at least it was delicious XD. i think, i have raised the drink consuming in my town...




.....and delicious ice ;D...i love sweeties


then we sang the whole night...let's rock...viva singstars XD


take that... back for good


nirvana...



it was super fuuuuuuun ;D

Red Dot design award selection : Ipod for water proof

many people like to listen to music in the bathroom. the idea here is to bring a simple ipod docking into the bathroom. i guess this one is just a design concept from nova design.

nova is a taiwan based design firm, which designs from idea to engineering and production.

a new scenario created a new product. not bad

Reddot design award 2007

once a year, red-dot design award (one of the most important design awards) nominates remarkable designs of the year. the winners of 2007 are already online now.

as usaul i would like to designate some remarkble products of me.
the first one is : sony pcm-d1 portable linear recorder


the design is not really a milestone. the reason why i chose it is it's character. if we look at the whole market, we'll see, the simpilicity dominates the design of a digital media product.

but this one shows the beauty of complexity and professional. u feel, this guy is something different. i like it!

hang is going to cook for (with) you

if u ask me, who is my favor designer.
u will get this answer :
"Jamie oliver is absolut one of my favor designers!" no kidding XD

u see it, smell it, touch it, taste it. all of the sences are comming together.
that's the best moment!

i am a person, who really like to eat and try.
to share food and eat with friends is really gret.

so my plan is:

i will come to u and cook for you.

Shoji Computer Concept by ZIBA

people asked me, why i like shoji. "it is nothing special."

well, it is really special for me. if u image, u are a designer, how would u design a desktop?
normally a designer will pick a box-like volume to design the shape.

but this concept, shoji, has brocken the box.

that's why i like it.

well done, meral and daniel (ziba)
