Reading The Laws Of Simplicity - Context
1. What does the word ENTROPY mean and why is this relevant?
Entropy means a numerical measure of the uncertainty of an outcome. The disorder in a closed system. It’s relevant because it’s narrowing down a broader content, focusing on the more important things.
2. If you are attuned to everything around you, does it help you deal with what is in front of you and why or why not?
When you’re not focusing what is around you the importance of some things might become lost during the design process. For example, a designer could go ahead and design something and without the input of the things or people around them, they can completely miss the brief as they are making something that they think will work. Having the ideas of others can help balance the final piece.
3. How is this different from FOCUS?
Striving for excellence usually entails the sacrificing everything in the background for the sake of attending the all-important foreground. The light bulb and laser beam approach is the example that Maeda used to describe focus. Designers are constantly zooming in and out of a certain area to focus in the minor details.
4. Being “comfortably lost” is a balance between what 2 feelings?
The feeling of safety and helpless
How directed can I stand to feel and how directionless can I afford to be.
Feeling of youth, state of health and sense of adventure.
5. Describe a recent scenario when you found yourself to be “comfortably lost”. Did you enjoy the sensation?
Every weekend I find my self lost but I don’t mind because I have my phone on me and if I need to I can just ring someone to help me out. Another time when I felt lost was back in high school when we went on a school camp to umbarwarra falls. We were in the middle of nowhere but I liked it because I was with all my friends.
6. If you couldn’t hold back the urge to write on the “don’t write on this page” page – what would you write?
I would write “too late!”
I don’t usually write in books thought.
The Six Thinking Hat
• Which HAT best represents your group?
I'm in the print design group, and I think the green hat best represents our group.
• Why?
The green hat is the idea, creativity hat and that is what we do in the design process.
• Describe an Exhibition Group meeting where you may adopt the BLACK hat
When someone comes up with an idea that might not exactly work or if we have too many ideas and need to narrow down the options finding the negatives in each.
• In your blog write 6 labeled paragraphs on your group’s progress to date, using each of the 6 hats as a perspective.
White
Gathering information about the design
Thinking of the exhibition and what will work well
Red
Think of what people will feel when they see the design
Black
Coming up with some cons about the design, seeing what we could change and what doesn’t work.
Yellow
Coming up with all the cons about the design and what each of us like about it.
Green
Brainstorming ideas that could go into the design for the exhibition.
Blue
Looking over the final piece and making sure that it fits the criteria.
