the inconvenient truth

 It’s not supprise that they don’t know there iphones, there mp3, there laptops are not energy efficiency product. ‘What can I do?’ They will never give up playing touch screen everyday, and will never ever get into some jungle and live a hippy life. Human being invent tools (yeah, including cyber devices) to live better, not to suffer. So, don’t blame the people playing Nintendo everyday, and maybe we can’t say the evil company who want you to through ipad 2 away and get a new ipad are only to blame. 

You can’t quite eating only because the fast food make you fat. The theory in my brain is that: one can still eat fast food, but maybe switch to low fat, or change the fast food brand, or ear less fast food. It not the fast food to be blamed, or eating is bad.

So here is the question in many people’s mind. Yeah we know the world is surfering from the globle warming, but what can we do if we don’t have either professional knoledge or power. Designer surely can help. Maybe one day the ‘green’ tag could be a standard but not only a advertising word printed on the package.

 ‘Don’t worry, we do the environmental friendly thing for you. You can easily save your world in using everyday products.’ Maybe this is the promise that many customers are looking for. There’s a group of people who don’t want to make much effort to study which package is recyclabe, and in the same time they are upset by the truth that the world will be poisoned in the nearist future if they don’t recyle correctly. Yes we need to educate everybody about the recycle, about buying local food and driving less car. But the education take times. People are lazy, so we invite so much tools to do things for us. So why not just make tools ‘green’? This statement looks foolish and naive in some state, but it is not wrong, and that’s what a designer can do some effort with.

 the packaging is very easy to use. it allowed children eat breakfast on their own. they don't need their parents to spread butter for them. i think it's great to holding the butter stick and spread butter. it more easier than using knife.
for the poster, you can use more image to instead of written text. it will more attractive.

This packaging would be very useful for the new mums. good work on your design solution. your poster contains a lot of information to support your design, but it's hard to find a focus on your poster. there are too much information on it.

nice rendering and layout for your poster.

the sandwich packaging is a nice concept. because children aways cant finish their sandwich at once.   the graphic on packaging is very attractive to children, and because it is foldable，children can keep the sandwich in the box for next time.

the graphic on your packaging is very interesting. i really like it. it allowed kids  making milk shake easily. it divided coco powder into small portion, so they will know how much they need to put.
i think the poster layout it great, you can use more brighter colours.

 i like this concept. but i am just wondered  as the shape of the spoon is hemisphere, how does it work if there is only few milk powder left in the container?
the poster is simple and clear. but i think you need more images to show how to use.

 i like your design. it's a good way to use solar energy to power BBQ in public area, especially for beach area. the idea is great, but i suggest you can show how much energy can save by changing behaviours. the posters are very informative and visually strong. the layout is very simple and clear.

i like your concept. nice work. rent a toy at shopping centre is more easier than went to local library. but the shape and colour for your machine need to develop, to make it more attractive to children.
the the colour of poster should be related to your design product. the size of the machine need to be adjust.

the idea is really good. parking becomes a big problem for student who driving to uni.  i can see the benefit you trying to make. it would definitely encourage me to rent this scooter as it's cheap and less restriction on the road.
the poster need to show more research on technology.

interesting concept . the idea of reusable container is great. but i think the size of the machine should be bigger, as the cereal will be run off quick during the day. 

i like the shape of your design. it's very simple.

 most of family have the problem within batteries recycle. i really like your design. the machine can collecting the used batteries and determine weather the battery gone is flat or not. it can effeciently reduce the waste. 

i like the idea of the card system. nice work.
