Course Reflection (CR05)

This week’s lectures have been Color and Environmental/ Green design.  All colors portray a different mood or try to communicate a certain purpose.  I think this is an underrated part of design.  The colors of products and buildings are all researched down to the tee.  Everything now-a-days is going ‘green’: Cars, food products, packaging, pencils…  We have found or are trying to find a more environmentally friendly way to design everything.  Designers are now trying to make the 6 stage s of product life a circular life cycle and not a point A to point B life cycle.  When a product’s life is over it gets recycled and gets remade for others to reuse.  This is a problem that designers of all sorts of areas will have to deal with throughout the future.
