You're Staring at Your Blind Spots

"I don't know who discovered water, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a fish." -- Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) Media critic & writer
Just like a fish can't see the water it's swimming in, you can't see the world immediately in front of you. It takes someone with a different perspective to point it out. These people can see opportunities that you can't see. They can see pitfalls that you can' t see. They can see them, ironically, because they aren't staring at them every day.

I LOVE NATURE

A short trip to Brockworth, a small rural village in Gloustershire - South West England. That was the last days of summer time. I really love the fields which covered by green from grass, trees and sun light. Wishing a small house there ...

OBSERVATIONAL-DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS

I will cite down below some of main contents in one of module - 2D design - that I am doing research.
This module provides the creative and technical vocabulary necessary for design experimentation, development and realization.
The module enables student to explode area of two-dimensional such as visual language and visual anthropology, image making, letter forms and typography, illustration, visual research, information and signing design, lens-based media, motion graphics, interactive media and sound
Personally, throughout the module, I am able to develop and extend my own design vocabulary, philosophy and creative identity.
All research begin with observation, to watch, to record and then to describe, analyze and interpret what we have observed.

DARUMA DOLL

(ROLAND BARTHES)
I am a Daruma doll, a legless toy endlessly poked and pushed, but finally regaining its balance, assured by an inner balancing pin (but what is my balancing pin? The force of love?). this is what we told by a folk poem which accompanies these Japanese doll:
Such a life
Falling over seven times
And getting up eight.
