Reminding Through Design

2006,
Thesis Project for MID

In our society, there are many issues of concern. Some issues are very important to remember, such as environmental pollution, war and animal cruelty because they are closely related to survival, conscience and ethics. However, people cannot always bring up all the issues together into their daily lives unless they are the serious activists or the devote philanthropists. Therefore, something whether education or campaign, needs to guide people to recognize the issues, or remind them of their seriousness. This thesis proposes designs for objects to remind people of the importance and urgency of 2 dilemmas, global warming, starvation in Africa. After being influenced, they might be inspired to act and therefore reduce the seriousness of these problems.
