Sorry I haven’t finished this. I’ll submit this in a later assignment.

2.Long Life Design

1) As a designer, I find it very interesting that instead of creating original designs, he would improve or recreate old ones. Many new designs are also created on the basis of old designs.

2) I think my standards of “good” design are already very similar to his. I think good design is not outdated, quality is good, can be used for a long time, basically the same as his idea.

3) In the past few years, I did not think that people would cherish what they bought or think carefully about what they should buy, because a few years ago, “fast fashion” emerged, people could buy beautiful and fashionable goods at a low price, but these goods were often of poor quality or outdated quickly. But as people become more environmentally conscious and aesthetically aware, it’s not just in Japan, China, the United States, and many other countries that people are beginning to think carefully about what they buy and value what they get. Like myself, two or three years ago, I used to go to H&M or Zara every month to buy some cheap clothes, wear them for a few months and then throw them away. Now, I buy clothes much less frequently and consider more factors than just appearance when choosing clothes.

4) I think there are still different types of designs depending on people’s preferences. But I have to say, something old but still full of design will get a lot of favor. I also love to shop around and buy vintage clothes.

5) I can’t agree any more. Today, the trend of “fast fashion” has gradually faded. Consumers want to buy something that will last a long time. It can be expensive, but its design must not be outdated and its quality must be good. When people use this kind of thing, they will treat it well and cherish it. And designers are moving in this direction, spending more time thinking about how to make a really “good” design, instead of just changing an old design to a different color.

6) I loved the coat that took a year to design and make. I think this student has made a truly “exquisite” piece worth cherishing. What bothers me is that fast fashion brands are buying tons of cheap, boring goods. The designers of these brands may produce a hundred designs a day, but the value of these designs is far less than that of the student’s one design a year.

7) I haven’t thought about this before. Most of the time, I design for myself. I haven’t thought about what my design or design concept should bring to others. But maybe it’s time to think about it.

3. Long Life Design Criteria

Among these criteria, “planned production” and “environment” are closely related to the climate change problem in today’s society. When a product is designed, the designer must anticipate the future of the product and the changes it will bring. Sometimes, a product may have a bad impact on the environment. For example, when plastic products were created, people may not have imagined that these products would cause serious pollution.

Both Long Life desgin criteria and Dieter Ram’s 10 Principles of Good desgin address environmental considerations in Good design. Good products are environmentally friendly. They also say that the design of a product is crucial, not just for aesthetic reasons (to look good and be liked), but also for keeping up with The Times. They also mentioned the functionality of the product. A good product design must be easy to understand and easy to use.
