Design, consumption etc...

After our seminar it clicked that parts a, b, c and d of our assignments are probably meant to link together, who would have thought.

Chapter four of 'The Culture of Design' is all about how people create their identity through consumption. Analysing the photographs was about judging someones personality or identity through what they own (ie. what they consume). Lightbulb!

We were discussing where we shop, what kinds of things we buy, and how much we value different items. We pretty much all agreed that we value more expensive items with memories attatched (prom dresses for example).

We were asked if we think buying cheap, disposable clothes is a good or bad thing. In my view its a bad thing, I like individual pieces and they are bad for the environment, plus how is anyone supposed to be individual when everyone has the same stuff...
