manifesto

For the manifesto I will look at how design should be interactive and fun. I strongly like push for designs to interact with the use in a fun unique and interactive way. I have a strong outlook on mechanical toys as I love the interactiveness to them and and I feel that with the joy the users encounters with it, it creates an innocence towards the design. mechanical designs are simple but so intreating with how they push, improve and adapt from past designs to find new ways to interact with the user in a new way. I feel that thought the simple yet effective movements it not only creates joy and fun interaction but also as interactive designs are ever adapting there is an innocence in imperfections, they create a story and a life behind the object, there is aways room for improvement and can find new ways to push the interactive experience. considering designing toys for children they are made to be interactive and playful, deigns aimed at adults should do the same. i am always interested in the unique way the children interact with design particularly mechanical designs as they have their own scene innocence and naïvety to designs, the embrace the toys in a different ways to adults as they are still learning movement, interaction, mechanics and designs. but I don't feel that we should stop finding new fun interactive designs for the older users. everybody needs fun in there lives and I feel that with mechanical movement it is a simple but yet effective way to create some joy in peoples lives. If you even thing of people in everyday lives they fidget and fiddle with all sorts of object such as rattling keys or rotating and moving jewellery. we are always finding ways to keep our hands moving and interacting with moveable objects. even think of the Greeks and Turkish with their preyer beads they are always moving them and playing with them all day long, their sole design if for religious reason rather than physical designs but it is an interactive object they embraces their religious culture. its human nature to interact with movable designs so we should embrace it and keep pushing this style of design as even though technologies advance and we rely on entertainment from our phones we still need new ways for ourselves to interact with the physical world. I feel that design should be intuitive and simple and I feel that mechanical designs are a perfect example of this, most often it is obvious on how an mechanical object should move and be interacted with, there is no fancy buttons or instruction books. design should be accessible to everyone, no one should benefit more over a interactive design then an other due to different demographic reasons. they should be easily accessible so everyone can appeciate the fun and interactive designs.

1. design should be interactive 
2. should create joy and be fun
3. mechanical toys are a perfect example of interactive, fun designs
4. they have a scene of innocents to them
5. design should embrace past designs as precedents 
6. it should evolve, and adapt from part designs 
7. with ever evolving designs their is aways a scene of imperfections. 
8. designing for children 
9. difference between children and adults
10. we are always using interacting with moveable designs 
11. design should be intuitive and simple
12. design should be accessible to everyone

for the object I want to show how you can interact with mechanical design. i am paling to have a object that is buildable and ice you have put all the compensates together they will work as one to create a unique interactive experience. i feel that the user will have the joy of making the object and also finding out/learning how it works. 

Manifesto idea

I am not sure if I have got the right idea on what a manifesto is but i decided the first thing I should to is outline different parts of industal design influences me;

Toy- I have a fascination with toys mostly mechanical toys as I love the movement and interaction you can create and also the innocence and joy that toy design embraces 

Designing for children- I am always interested by designing for children I like the physiology of children and their differ reation with designs than what adults would encounter with the same product. 

Technology disconnecting us with the physical world- products like mobiles and iPods I am interested on how these designs the effected our socal perspective on our world, such as in intersection in public places but also how we get this blunt image on how we view the world though technologies as we only see a selective view on the world. 

And the history of design- Don't forget the past designs they are the reason you are standing here today, embrace them and learn from their achievements and mistakes. Every object has a designer behind them and a reason for every component, take the time to analyse why? You can learn so much from past designs and they have learnt from the designs before them. The history can help your designs move forward. Keep moving forward.
