Task 6e: Design for Life

The video “Design for Life” by Philippe Starck is a series divide into episodes, and as we can see from the video, working in the real design world is just a as much pressure, if not, more pressure than university students, the students working for Philippe Startck must be feeling the pressure they receive from all the complains, but on the other hand, I can also see the passionate filled in each and everyone of them, all of them loves the job of design, and is willing to receive the pressures from design.
As I have expected, the video shows the toughness n hardness a designer needs to go through, compare to other university subjects, design seems to be easier, but the pressure and future for them are not to be known, designers might seems to be not working all the time, but in fact, their brain are working 24/7, always thinking about new things, new designs. If they do not keep up to date or even think ahead of others, they cannot survive within the field of design.
Design can be easy, because everyone can design, even a children can design, for what people understand, design is just drawing, but there are lots and lots of deep thinking inside every design, all designers have to work with pressures and stress, they have to come up with good designs, and not designs that the designer thinks it is good, but a design that everyone can accept and like. If it is just a design the designer knows and like, the design is a fail, no matter how good the design might be.
After watching the video, I have seriously questioned myself… “Am I going to reach their level?” even now, I still don’t have a clear answer, but what I know is that I need to work hard, and experience more, because from what I believe, is that all designs come from experience, and the more you experience, more things a person knows, and understand about other people, so that more people will accept the designs.
I wish I would work for a design company that allows me to do everything and look at how other peole do things, so I can gain experience and learn what it is like to be in a real design world, because from what we learn in university, it is still base on books, without really experiencing what the real field is like.
