Blog Assignment 7

As a designer, I think I have the responsibility to consider the global problem such as inadequate resource and environmental degradation. Then, I am able to use my design to manipulate people’s taste in order to solve the problem and make people live in a harmonic way with nature.

In addition, I do not think my unique background will strongly influence the way of how I design. The real element, which will affect how I do and what I do, is the way of how I am taught and what I am taught.

The reason I believe this is people start to traveling around the world frequently and easily these days. In other words, people who come from different backgrounds are able to get to together and share their culture, knowledge and thought. Globalization is happening in every field include design, especially New Zealand where I could meet people from all over the world and be taught by lecturers from several countries. I seem like a sponge absorbs all the knowledge and ideas around me. Those ideas inform my approach as a designer, and my background is just a part of the whole.
