Task 4: My Deign Career

‘Design is to design a design to produce a design’, this phrase is what I learned from the lecture in semester 1. What the... this was my first reaction when I first looked at this particular phrase... because i didn’t really understand the actual meaning towards it and I had no idea of what the design is about... and of course, it will be a disaster if someone ask me to define a design… however, It became my first time to think about being a designer and consider of ‘ the definition of my own design ‘ after I realised the fact that there are step- by- step progresses to actually produce a design. To be honest, I was more interested in doing fine art rather than designing since my dream was to be an artist when I was young. But, there was a period of time being confused about what I’m really going to be and what I’m really preferred to do in the future, because I thought that there were not much things to do as an artist to earn the money… therefore, I just chose my way to get in the course of industrial design as I thought it will be a constant job to have and most of all, it was something got to do with drawing. From the both side of financial and interest of mine, industrial design was something that could satisfy my lifestyle. So, I got into UNSW industrial design course and I learned a bit about design which was amazing for the fact that I can produce or create something that I design just like what I said before. I don’t know if I’m going to be an INDUSTRIAL designer in the future, but as long as I can’t find my own definition of design, I wouldn’t be able to do other things. So, I’d like to experience a lot about design whatever that is something to do with theory of it or technical skills and so on. Also, if I have a good opportunity to go to other country (especially UK), I want to go there as an exchange student to see how other world’s dealing with the definition of a design. I haven’t really got a plan for my future yet, but one thing I can surely say is that I will be doing something related to my own design.
