Blog Assignment 8

Nowadays, as the environmental deterioration is becoming increasingly important, governments started to promote an idea of sustainability and reusability. This ideological message informs design, and lends contemporary designers to create thing that consumes renewable energy resource. For example, the solar toys from above image. This kind of toy suddenly became popular in China since last few years. The reason for this is the sustainable idea of using solar energy to provide a small action in the cute looking toy. It is free-pollution and self-rechargeable.

From the example, I feel that politics and design is two inseparable ideas. They influence each other, and have the same purpose lend people to have a better life. Design could be seen as a policy that the government use to promote their ideology, and politics could be seen as a leader tells design which way to go.
