MAKING THINGS, MAKE SENSE!

During yesterdays lecture we were asked to look at design and technology hand in hand and think about how this could integrate into our lives. There were quite a few interesting projects which Hazel White has been involved in. One which really interested me was the charm project in which she got a variety of individuals and gave them each a piece of jewellery, a pack of different charms and a book to log their responses. This was interesting how different people interacted in different ways to the piece of jewellery which they had and also the emotive response they had towards these pieces. We also looked into technology and the human form and how jewellery tells a story. Personally I feel that yes its an interesting avenue to explore for designers but also technology can be lost in translation and be hard to interact with without instructions which for many people such as the elderly who haven't always had technology around can find it hard to follow.
