School has finally started after having holiday of 8.5months on 20th July. Everything is new to me unlike kindergarten all the way to secondary school , it's time to wear my own chosen cloths to school!
I'm thankful to be introduced to a senior way before school started and she told me how's life in NAFA will be like to get myself prepared. Overall first day of NAFA life was pretty awesome :]
Here are some reflection after watching the above video.
We should sometimes think like a kid instead of thinking the the adults perspective like what is the right thing.We should not be afraid to try new things,show or tell what are thinking or being judged after all, we're being our own true self. But we can always try to improve ourselves,no harm trying anyway !
Simple might be a good thing too as it can be powerful just like how the nurse who created and simple item just using plasticine which allows her to talk about what she wants in a more powerful way to the team of technologists and designers working with her. People nowadays just uses post-it or any other form of writing to explain to others what they want but that might not be the best way as it might cause some misunderstanding or the other party might not even get what you're trying to say at all.
I feel too that having role play is important when coming to design some things especially if you have a targeted audience. For example your targeted audience is those who had broken their legs and cannot walk. You will create a chair for them but how do you move them about? You add wheels but what if some people lives alone or does not want to trouble other people? Now, we have to improve our designs and make the wheels bigger to ensure that the handicap person is able to wheel themselves around.
I personally feel that there are indeed rules everywhere but at times we do not have to follow strictly, just like how some people say "if you cannot go by right, you can go by left" that includes if our environment allows it. Just like how we can be both serious and playful, we do not have to be simply just serious or playful.
I have also tried one of the experiment that was used in the video
There are 30 circles and fill them as much as possible in 30 seconds. I have not much idea what it tells about myself.
Only managed to draw 5 simple drawing in 30 seconds ! I wonder how did some of them managed to draw all 30 circles! 30seconds is waaaayy to fast!
