reflection of tutor comment
This week I came up 3 ideas which are hand wash bottles, pills bottle and tooth paste packaging.
I am focusing on disability of one hand. The main causes are congenital, tumer, paralysis, cerebral palsy and trauma.
I decide to develop the first concept which is hand wash bottle. It also could use as lotion bottle, shampoo bottle, any bottle contain liquid and apply to human body. the aim of my design is providing a convenient system bottle for single hand user. the product are functional aesthetic and recyclable.

The design has a little holding gap on the side so pp could use fingers attach
the gap and use thumb press the pressing device to get washing liquid. My tutor
gives me a very important advice that I need to figure out the position and
distance between the gap and pressing devise. Because if the distance are not
accurate, user will easily to press the wrong mechanical point then the
pressing device will be broken easily. So I need to pretend to be a single hand
user and figure out the exactly shape and dimension of the ergonomic bottle to
suit for one hand disabled user.

an inconvenient truth
this vedio start with a beautiful river view implies that environment problem is the main topic. this presentation indicade the climate change and how is it influnce human life and environment .This video intended to awaken human awareness of environmental protection and encourage the human protect the environment from every aspect in their life.
in the beginning of the vedio, The speaker shows different periods of the Earth's satellite images, people could see the colour of mainland changes with the contrast from differen periods photo. This moment left me a deep impression , because the earth is the home for human survival, but we are destroying our home by ourself.
in the vedio the speaker said that"what get us into trouble is not what we don't know is what we know for sure that just ain't go"and he leads to the theme of global warming through a cartoon. global warming is the main problems leading many disasters, but the reason for global warming happends is because of us. global warming is because of the increasing amount of co2 produced from human industry. co2 is a green house gas that could keep the heat inside the atmosphere.The scientists found that the temperature rise have a direct relationship with rising carbon dioxide levels.
climate change influnce the landscape of mainland. because the increasing temperature there have fact like millting glaciers and some area have drought. then the speakers showes some fact that is pictures has been taken for same place but in different periods. for instance, he shows the pictures about killmanjaro in Africa, there use to be covered by snow before few decade but in the recent picture there only have a little snow at the top of the mountain. the scientists saide that in the next decade there won' have any snow. there also have other place have same situation like Glacier national park, in the Himalayan region there have 14 percent of the world's population but because of the melting of glaciers will lead to shortage of drinking water. aoccroding to the record there have lots of high tempereature record in America.
climate change also influnce the temperature of ocean.with the ocean temperature increasing there have more steam in atmosphere then it developing into typhoon that influnce humans life frequntly. in 2005 typhoon attacted america, indian, china japan and many other countrys. in some area with the temperature increasing some lack was disapeared.
As temperatures rise and glaciers melting, will cause a great impact on the cycle of the monsoon currents and even lead to the most in parts of species extinction. the ice could reflecting heat during the melting process, if the glaciers melt, the sea will absorb the sun heat caused a serious impact on the natural environment.With the temperature rise in the number of insect activity area increases, this will lead to a number of diseases spread, animal and plant extinction.
all these fact shows us we need to change our habit and technology to protect the environment. as a designer we should integrate the concept of environmental protection to our design and reduce waste and pollution.

The lightbulb conspiracy
the vedio "the lightbulb conspiracy" is a documentry film that indicate the political and economy planned behand the industral production. there have some case indicated in the vedio including the printer case, lightbulb case, nylon socks and the environmental problems behand the conspiracy.
in the vedio the printer is an example of the consiracy. engineers put a chip into the printer, this chip is control the printer "die" on time. the life of an printer already set up only lasting for 5 years. the user in the vedio named Marcos found this secreat of printer. in the vedio it said "the product is designed for failed"
that is the way how company increase the demand of marketing.
the lightbulb conspiracy has the same situation. there have a lightbulb in US firestarion and it keep burning for over 100 years. people have celebrate its 100years birthday. I never know a lightbulb could continu buring for an centry. how fantastic it is! but the fact is the lightbulb company and government make a rule for increasing the demand of market, the rule is make each lightbulb life under 1000hours. so conpany asked engineers back to the start, design the fragile lightbulbs is for increase the demand for market and increase profit for the company. the fact is even there have more lightbulb designed for lasting long life but they never appears in the market.
there also indicate the fact of waste product. all the rejected material has been transported to the third world county. there use to have beautiful landscape at these country but all the beautiful environment has been replaced by the garbage. even it is illegal to transport the garbage to the third world country, but the first world country still could find reason to transport these garbage to the third world country.
as an designer, I was thinking a good product is combined many features: beautiful functional durable end ecofriendly. after watching this vedio i found that there still have many gaps between the dream and reality. to promote a good design to the market and attract people use it, there still have lots of works to do. but people should realize the environment fact of the world. if there have more polution more waste, it is not good for the sustainable development of the whole world.

WHO KILLED THE ELECTRICAL CAR
This video stars at a solemn ceremony, which shows respect to the high technology and environmental friendly idea vehicle.this vedio described an electical car which is EV1 how did it appeared and disappeared. the advantage of electrical car and the reason why it is disappeared are introduced in this vedio.anyway the high technology and high environment protection awareness worth everyone to learn from it.
The electric car was appearing in 1996 California. Last century, the electric car are much popular than gas car because electric car are much quieter smoother and easy to charge at home. Why the gas car developing so fast and occupy the whole vehicle market nowadays？ Because gasoline was cheap at that period and the gas car have a faster speed. Nowadays the disadvantages of gas car are appeared. Every gallon of gas produces 19 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse gas mostly as we know is co2 bring out many environmental issue like climate change raise the temperature of atmosphere and huge amount of melting glacier cause waterflood the polluted air also case caused cancers and respiratory problems.
in the film even the EV designer engineers and public car lovers try to stop the government murdering the electric car. even they tryed so hard, even the electric car have low price, faster, smoother and most important evironmental friendly features people cannot stop the idea been murderd. however the reason why the electrical car been murderd is because the high price of production and there will be a huge investment to build charging station all around Amarica.
in this vedio also introduced hydrogen vehicles and some other technology vehicles. overall the EV-electrical car is a important innovationfor the vehicles development history. as a designer whatever the product we designed we must consider the as comprehensive as we can. designer need to consider as much as we can when we want manufacture a priduct.like the whole environment in the society include the law, political, environmental and marketing aspect.
