Changing the future by design

I guess nobody would deny the fact that the unique power of a design can shape the future to how designer wants it to be. WOW!

Acknowledge the problem is the first step to change, addressing the problem is the believe to change. Now we are aware, so we should be obliged to consider our role to change.

Why me?
Because as a designer we have the ability to effectively communicate and build interest and awareness.
Design for a positive change. Do not waste your effort perhaps this is the moment you have been waiting for.


Some tips on how we can design to change the future.
  • Design for re-use

  • Maximize your design life
  • Scrutinize the efficiency

  • Design eco-friendly products
