About this deal

The key is to be “inspired in the right way”, she says, like how the aerodynamics of a fish can create a more streamlined lorry, which uses less fuel, and is therefore more “environmentally friendly”. Why in your opinion are people so drawn to design inspired by nature? 2. What in your opinion is the finest example of design inspired by nature in the field of product and furniture design (my course)? 3. Do you think there are psychological benefits to design inspired by nature, and what do you think they are?

It might look subtle and may not seem worth the struggle at the early stages of design like wireframing and prototyping. But it’s important for a designer to keep in mind the image of the finished product. More so, the way you visually present your digital product says a lot about the brand in general.Mengyu Cao is a Chinese artist and designer currently living in San Francisco. She's the founder of Yiqi Hanzi, aiming to share the beauty of Chinese characters and cultures with the world. Hermoso Compadre is a Brazilian clothing brand, and in 2020, it decided to create its own beer label. In partnership with Nórdica brewery, they created a strong and intense 8.5% IPA with a unique communication. Art director Bruno Cintra took charge of developing the branding, which is based around eye-catching illustrations in the extreme.

Most web processes have designated patterns that people recognize and expect. At the same time, with a variety of devices and screen media, it’s extremely challenging to maintain the same behavior with a lesser estate. This means we have to divide certain processes into comprehensible bits while mapping the entire progress. A good design can make people trust you more, alter customer perception, make you memorable, get your message across, make your product work to the fullest, and shine. A great one can do even more. Rob Francis, a Reader in Ecology at King’s Cowollege London, says that some elements of biomimetic and biophilic — how buildings can be compatible with nature — design remain “tokenistic” and that there’s uncertainty over how “best to implement it”. Toilet problems or not. With happier, healthier and more productive people as a net effect of biophilic design, isn’t it time we open our doors to nature? Jo Barnard, a designer who started her own product design consultancy Morrama, echoes this: “We don’t want everything to last forever, so you come up with better ways to change things”.Our eyes and brain are designed to capture movement because it bears a lot of information. It’d be a shame to leave it unaccounted for. Do many product designers, architects, industrial engineers, material scientists follow its design principles ( https://biomimicry.net/the-buzz/resources/designlens-lifes-principles/)? Biomimicry (or biomimetics) is what guides Nature inspired design, representing the bridge between biology and design principles. Biomimicry offers an understanding of how life functions and thrives on Earth. From there, we can decide where we fit in as people. Nature has a strategy for just about every problem, and it’s evident when you take a look at the diverse plants and animals we have on this Earth. There’s a lot to learn… How Do I Start?

In The Practice of Biophilic Design, Kellert and Calabrese state five basic principles essential for the successful application of biophilic design. Three of these are highly related to nature connectedness: Text is the strongest medium of information. It might not be so much in terms of emotive response but definitely is in terms of being informative. Text is delivered by means of fonts, or typefaces, in general – typography. Oliver stresses the importance of taking a holistic approach when refurbishing or building offices. The foundational (5-14yrs) subject of design and technology is the perfect place to combine responsibility, empathy and creative problem solving. Currently the subject is imbalanced towards making more and more stuff. Mengyu is not the first artist to translate Chinese characters into something Westerners can visually recognise. But in this project, she's done it far more successfully than most. Rather than awkwardly twisting these shapes into something they're evidently not, her beautiful illustrations follow the flow of the lines perfectly, and the use of watercolours softens things to make the overall look utterly entrancing. Lessons learnedGardening sessions took place monthly throughout 2021, our final session will take place on Thursday 16th March between 10am and 3pm. These are drop in sessions so there's no need to book.
