Rethink about the draft manifesto


Designers rack their brains to looking for inspiration, they trying to create something new and original idea with new material or new technology during their design process to seek the innovation design. Actually, a good design should back to simplicity, it can achieve the innovation design in the same way.


-          Use the simple method to create infinitive ideas

A simple method in design could through different lines, patterns with different sizes, thickness and colors, constantly compose with each others to develop your own creative thinking. It should be considered and have a certain priorities in your design process. The visual aspect is constantly changing until you find the satisfactory outcomes. Only rearrange those ultimate puzzles can come up with new interpretations.

-          Use the simple material.

Use the simplest and economical material that you can achieve. For example, paper is a achievable material in everyday life. Some designer use them to sketch, others through the origami and carve them to create the pleasant feelings. You can start to use it without have too much tools and skills and it also easy to shape. Think differently what you can achieve with the simple normal material and treat them well, you will find it also could be a challenge practice. If you work hard that even will become a self-improvement. Simple idea and material save time and effort to create the prototype as well. It seems simple method but this can provide a great deal of feedback and self-reflection which will result in the design of better products. Designer will always tweak their ideas and prototype. Use those as the first step to make it further approach. It is also worth and should be advocate because of it could be a lower cost and environmentally friendly.

-          Use your hands


Human hands have the duty to continuation of traditional and create the future. Craft exist as long as human history. It is represent our identity, skills and convey information in different period of history; After research more about the relationship between technology and craft, you will they are so close with each other. Today we rely on the technology and digital techniques to create things we want, digital visual design create the visual impact as a new way of seeing, computer aided manufacture to create the prototype in an efficient way. Contemporary designer should not just focusing on operate the digital software as their tools. Moreover, they should apply the designer thought and fundamental design philosophy into their product. It is the time to understand and improve craftsmanship which should be integral part of our design process.
