Final assignment

Finally i build up my booth using 3d max software ... wahoooooooooo

Booth

Before start to design my booth, i have to do research about it. Here is some of my research =)

Mister potato vending machine

Mister potato with theme park Vending machine =)

Bus-stand =)

Here is my GASOLINE bus stand that i designed. A restaurant which got different themes in different outlet. It take time to build it but i really like it. It is a good experience for me. Especially when i glue it and make the LED lamp =)

Hope u all will like it =)

More is Less, Less is More

When lecturer ask us to explain the meaning of More is Less, Less is More, my face expression shows =.='' ... Sweat ! totally stun, how come more is less, less is more. More means more/a lot of !Less means less/seldom ! How come this 2 can be combine together ?

After that i go wikipedia search it, here is the result:

Less is more:

That which is less complicated is often better understood and more appreciated than what is more complicated; simplicity is preferable to complexity' brevity in communication is more effective than verbosity.

By the ways, i cant find the meaning of more is less. But after i read this sentences, i start to understand the meaning of less is more,more is less. From my point of view, this is meaningful and useful for designer. Take a example,a poster that we wanna to design. Sometime we put a lot of picture, maybe it will looks nice and full of information, but then it also look messy and hard to focus the point. Something like a billboard that full contain but actually look at it, it just nothing. Nothing i can get in the billboard, everything i know in the billboard only but others side information.But a billboard just a shows a product picture,maybe audience will start question what is the product,how the product function, how much is it and so on , they will go find the information as well and this is what i trying to means less is more.

This the the funny sentences that come to my mind, confusing !

A simple design without text can be meaningful.

A simple design with text can be meaningful too.

Form Follows Function

...Form Follows Function, Function Follows Form.....

Short form = 3F =)

First come to my mind ,without each others, the final works should not be work well because function need forms. So to understand what means is this, i do some research about Form and function. Form refers to the shape, visual appearance or configuration of an ob

ject. Function also called a functor, functional or functionoid, is a computer programming construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as though it were an ordinaryfunction.

After i read the brief, i got a conclusion which is form is something that have shape that we can touch and see. Function to activate the form to work. Function needs form in order to accomplish its goal. Form without function is just a pretty piece of paper. So as i know, a have a form should be have a function too. For designer views, Form can consider as print ads, function can be a computer works like flash and website which can move. So to make it more interesting, a form should be combine with function in order to make the design look interesting.

My another point of view, form cannot bring the message to people same as function too. But after combine this two, it's become meaningful. Just take it for example, a Nike shoes poster. So for the first view we know it is a shoes but we dunno about others if there are no information. But then if we add on some effect like the shoes moving and sound effect, people will straight get the message that the shoes is powerful bla bla bla. So as a designer like us, we need to know it well.

Here is the example that i wanna show what means is form follows function :

With off, the light switch hook from Die electric, form follows function and then some. OFF is a fully functional light switch that doubles as a place to hang essentials when in the OFF position – prompting the user to choose to save electricity. The clever little gadget not only takes some significant kWhs off of the meter, but serves as a subtle reminder to turn off the lights – while solving the age old “where are my keys?” quandary on a daily basis.
