I m in a new place, a place with new faces , different peoples and all we share in common are the use of everyday things . Things we use to play games, places where we sit, laugh and mostly talk about others. What am I talking about? Everyday things or everything we use ....only usage of things are in common or is there anything else? Something pronounced with a beginning d letter yup that is design ....everywhere we go around the world ,a thing we get in common is design, "The design of everyday things".
- I am presently in a complex or say it quarters in line , my dad works in defence so here we meet different peoples with different background, different religion different language ,the thing they share in common is the design, the design of their childrens or their babies , their clothes the colours in their clothes and all. I have seen and observed everything starting from the dressing sense of a small baby to the dressing sense of an adult and super adults, yeah I call them that. Whatever, the thing here to notice is their likeness some peoples like short skirts some like long one some boys like spiked hair others not even a single one in their head. Why is it so? The answer is design different stages of life have their different level of design thinking. I have seen kids around here cycling on the park where I am presently sitting and typing with my head down but I looked and I saw that the kid had purchased a new bicycle which attracts each and every small ones over the park , they get attracted and then they went on to the guy and they asked him about his cycle. Why they were attracted? I asked this question to myself? One reason could be those kids who were attracted don't have a bicycle, second reason could be the kids were in a mood to ride a new bicycle being purchased by their friend just recently still wrapped in plastic just like a bride in a gown o okk just like a super bike according to those kids perspection and last but not the least reason could be the" design". The bicycle was wrapped ,the kids were attracted not by the bicycle, but by the design inside the wrapped plastic. They wanted to see touch and feel the pleasure of that design ,purchased by their friend.
- why this happens why design always comes in action?,the answer is design is being liked by babies , kids, adults and even super adults.
- In the below image u can see that there are 11 pillars in the built, this place is actually inside the CISF campus where I was presently at and this is being used by the senior officers to teach their staff some norms and all about field work if there's rain happening outside and rest of the day ,it remains unused. Now after looking it a question comes in my mind why 11 pillars?
.... what was the thinking of the designer when he designed and did placed 11 pillars in that built and according to my point of view the reason could be attraction because large number of pillars attracts user eyes from even a far distance. Another reason could be a mistake. Mistakenly the designer or the builder had installed 11 pillars on the built. But why 11? If its mistakenly done then why not any other number say for example 23? O its too large then why not 5,4,6,7,8,9 ...whatever thus this proves that human mind can do anything mistakenly but the reason is why only that thing why only that number? I am still finding the answer. If someone asks you " what is your favourite thing or say for example your favourite food and all " mostly asked by girls to boys or vice versa when they are about to start a new relationship. And the reply is mostly "Pizza" in India and considering my point of view I will say ummm chicken but the question is, my favourite food is chicken but is it when not cooked properly or is it in raw condition? Obviously the answer will be 'no' coz before we eat something our vision comes in action we see it, we like it and then the output "lets eat" and eventually it becomes our favourite food. Now that vision thing is in general an attraction towards the chicken and again a question why?the chicken is dead isn't it? you can't eat someone alive. So if she's dead she is no longer pretty or beautiful enough that our vision i.e, attraction comes in action. Then what's the reason and the answer is "cooking". The dead "she" is being cooked and then served so beautifully which is the main cause of our attraction. And the presentation by a chef who's a master in design but of different category i.e, cooking,he fulfills the wish and stomach of severals with a perfect consistency and in result the food becomes everyone's favourite.
- Good days yeah basically good food days and good food means mom and her recipes but I want my reader to have his hand around my neck and let's think if we compare moms cooked and Taj hotels cooked , who's better?, for me always my mumma but hey reader who's food costs you more your mum's or the Taj one , I believe the second option. So basically the question is, why that cost?, and here the answer goes " design". It's the design and presentation of food which costs you yeah in addition the taste too. Let's think about a condition when we visit coffee shops, what attracts us? Think about it and I hope u got the answer and it matches mine.
- last winter I went on to the BBazaar just for a normal glossary shopping with my friends and every time we land there the floor which attracts us is the second one yeah the clothing shop basically men's clothing because guys will not opt for sight seeing of womens clothing ,whatever, why we were attracted and why we still are ? ask yourself these questions will lead you to a simple and similar answer "design"
of clothes and sometimes in a different "avatar" yeah in India we call it avatar (different types of a single one).
- now let's talk about the international influence of design. ( wonders)
