Infecting the City

Infecting the City was an interesting experience although i didn't really feel i was infected. The concept of using rubbish as art was a good idea but i think it would have made a bigger impression on me if they used the rubbish to create a sculpture or something like that rather then putting rubbish in bags and tying it to trees.We also may have been there too early to get the full experience and fully understand what the whole thing was about.It was a interesting idea but didn't really have that much of an effect on me.I didn't come away saying wow that was amazing...but then again maybe my idea of art is also more conventional.

Being aware of Gestalt as a designer

It is important to be aware of all the principles of Gestalt because as a designer you want your designs to be unique and you want people to like your designs.So knowing what the different principles are and how our brain works we can as designers design something that is pleasing to the eye and makes more people want to buy or enjoy our designs.if our designs use the principles people will feel comfortable and intrigued by our designs instead of uncomfortable and be turned away by them. i think using the Gestalt principles is a great way to lour people into liking your designs and wanting to buy your pieces of jewellery.
