Monday, September 29, 2008. The Past: Our Relationship with Livestock. Where has technology and civilization taken us except away from our roots, away from our earth and the animals we depend on to survive? Rock painting - c. 8000 BC. Humans began as hunter-gatherers. Their connection to the animals was rooted deep, because their lives depended on these animals. Not just the meat of the animals, but the animals as whole beings. All parts of the animal were used for some purpose of survival. With the grow...

Discovering Industrial Design: Is 'Prius Hype' Completely Deserved?
http://discoveringid.blogspot.com/2008/11/is-prius-hype-completely-deserved.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Is 'Prius Hype' Completely Deserved? Our family bought a Toyota Prius about two years ago. With it came a great feeling - we all thought we were getting a great-quality car which also had a lower environmental footprint. Although it was a bit more expensive up-front, and would take some time before our actual savings would appear, the Prius' direct impact on the environment while it is being driven. But what's trickier to determine is the car's total impact, or net. You can rea...

Discovering Industrial Design: Thoughts on Obsolescence
http://discoveringid.blogspot.com/2008/10/thoughts-on-obsolescence.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. I've had this pair of earphones. This to be true, and take it for granted. It's easy to get brainwashed into needing "the next best thing," but what frustrated me about my poor headphones was that they didn't even need to be replaced! They were still perfectly in style, and they sounded just as good as any comparable earphones currently on the market. A methodology that's been in use since near the dawn of Industrial Design. Outdated, and people are willing and ready to leave ...

History of Industrial Design: The Meaning of Products
http://michellelee-idhistory.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-do-products-get-meaning-to-what.html
History of Industrial Design. Sunday, November 2, 2008. The Meaning of Products. However, I don't think that all interactions between products and people are influenced on branding. That is why new designers are being founded and new ideas a coming out. The fact that new designers can come into our society proves that the "new" is having some impact on people that can create a language between the "new" product and an individual or group of individuals.

History of Industrial Design: November 2008
http://michellelee-idhistory.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
History of Industrial Design. Sunday, November 30, 2008. All in all, through my experience this semester, I think it has brought me to a better place. Using the environment as a staple as a designer I have chosen to become socially conscious. Being green and using organic products is part of being socially conscious, but also using the 3 “R’s” renewable, reusable, and recyclable. After reading about their story I researched more into green weddings. Apparently, this was a growing industry! This industry ...
