触摸

最近忽然发现市面上的产品已经迈向touch screen的趋势。Touch screen给我的感觉是高科技，潮流及时尚但同时，它也让我感觉一种无形的空虚(很难用形容是怎样的感觉)。

后来才发现，所谓的空虚原来是它不知不觉中把最原始我们所触摸到的质感及真实感取代了。。。

就拿iPhone来说好了。无论荧幕上显示的是多立体的按钮，但触摸的感觉完全只有一种，这对我来说完全不是一件高兴的事，因为我喜欢触摸所带来的感觉。

举个例，一张普通的白纸跟一张有质感(texture)的白纸比较起来，有质感的那张往往能让人印象深刻，这就是因为它所带来的真实感常常能满足普通白纸所带来的空虚。这也是为什么有些人喜欢看书/报纸多过在网上阅读的原因之一。

只能说，在未来的世界里，能够触摸到的(有质感的)东西是最宝贵的。

好了，如果再说真的有说不完的故事，所以还是看看图片好了。

这张海报(算是吧)是我忽然有感而发随手拿起相机而设计的。想说的就是，随着时代的改变，人类越来越少去运用天赐的身体各个部位。以前的人用尽双手，电脑的出现让人们用一只手来操控滑鼠就能完成很多事情，现在最流行的touch screen科技只需要一根手指。。。只能说，科技在进步，人类在退化。

送给想自杀的人的一本书

The Book of Bunny Suicides(by Andy Riley)是一本漫画书。书里讲的是一只寻死的兔子用尽各种非常有创意的方法来自杀。

里面有很多很搞笑及搞怪的自杀方法再加上作者没有用很直接的方式呈现，让读者能够思考及发挥想象空间，我觉得就算想自杀的人看了可能都会因为书中的幽默而把事情改变。

想买这本书蛮久了，可是总觉得贵而且页数也不多，还分为上下两本，所以到现在还是没买~

在此放了几张书里的图片，想看完整的就去书店买吧~

特别推荐给那些心情低落或时常闷闷不乐的人~

"设计就是把已知的东西陌生化"

圣诞节是去了新加坡,特地跑去MUJI一趟因为看上了一支很喜欢的笔.在那里，

我完全被他的产品吸引因为一些日常生活的物经过设计师的设计后完全被换上了个新面貌,新感觉。

回来后，特别到学校图书馆借了一本原研哉的“设计中的设计”。

当中，他所说的"设计就是把已知的东西陌生化"让我深深体会到他对设计的观点。

创造前所未有的东西固然很厉害，但是能够把一个最普通且众所皆知的东西重新设计,

让人们找回刚开始对它的陌生及新鲜感更是另一种厉害的地方！

在此，不得不佩服日本人的再造精神(从他们把国家在世战后重新建设到今天我们看到的日本)。

下面是一些关于原研哉"RE-DESIGN"展览的作品。当中都是日本一些著名建筑师及设计师们的作品。

1st

Since this is my 1st post, so I decided to post something that I love and all this has become part of my life, I think.

I love graphic design.

I really enjoy my life now as a student of graphic design which deals with a lot of beautiful things everyday. Other than images, a graphic designer also need to have a sea of knowledges inside their creative brain because ideas come from everywhere, you never know. Nothing more to talk about (because there are really too much to talk), just want to thank my parents to give me a chance to step into this field, at least the very 1st step.

*William Addison Dwiggins, the 1st man who create the term 'graphic design'.

I love Apple.

I think most of the people around me loves it(can consider a she) as well because Apple's products are design with humanity which I think is an important criteria for a successful brand.
From Mac to iPod to iPhone, all this innovation are user-friendly because Apple really put a lot of efforts to work on the product design.

Below is the 1st commercial for Macintosh in 1984 which signified the new era of computer technology.

I love Manchester United & Rooney.

Well, I am a huge fans of EPL just like any other guys around the world and I am definitely a die-hard fans of Manchester United FC!

I follow almost every matches of Man Utd and Wayne Rooney+10 become an inspiration of my life because of the way he play. He is full of energy and the second when he steps into the field, he will give 100% to the team and never give up before the last whistle. He is only 24 years old now and I think he is the role model for the youngster today as they are easily to give up.

So, let's hope that Rooney & Man Utd will keep on glory.

Below is Rooney's 1st goal for Man Utd FC.

That's all for my very 1st post.

Ya, I know is boring, but who cares, it's my blog.
