How to design with effectiveness, but also pleasurable to the whole society?
It is very important to know what your customers want and satisfy their need with your design. In the past decade, there are many issues raised with if the current designs are sustainable. Many designers design products or concepts only focus on the current stage. They try to solve the problem in the short term, but not the long term. It is important for designer to think of their product in future. What would the product bring to society in long run? Design can affect people’s behavior and thought. It is a very powerful tool.
Designer should not only design product that make customer happy, but also make the nature environment, the society happy. It is important for designer to satisfy people’s need, but at the same time many people are not aware of many potential sustainable solutions. I think it is designer responsibility to learn how to designer sustainable, also promote the ideas to their customers. There are demands and supply in the markets. I think designer can affect both the demand and the supply from the market. Now live sustainable has become a lifestyle for many people, they eat healthy and want to be sustainable. Design should not be simply made to please or entertain people. I think it should made to surprise and to astonishing people, educate people and client a new way of thinking, hopefully is a sustainable way of thinking.
