First day work

I start understanding why they always said life style matters.

People mountain,people sea

Today,after staying at home about 6 hours,I decided to go to music concert.

It is nearby the W street.

I took bus to there and stop in front of a park which is called LARSEN PARK.

I was walking on the sidewalk.

There was a old lady came to me and asked  are you going to concert?

Yes,I said. And she pointed a way to me and tell me how to get there.

What a nice lady.

WOO!!So many people there and what nice music here.

People danced with music. After looking for a seat about 10 minutes.

I chose a mountain seat finally and enjoy music.

Did I am lucky today?

Not only a concert that I can enjoy but a church family also invited me to join their dinner.

So many kind of food made by Keren's husband.

They treated me so nice.

Such huge Oyster、steak、mutton-chop、pork chop and potato salad with a cup of white gourd tea.

I am so satisfy.

Thanks for Keren's family and her friends.

You are so nice.

And I am happy about Wang wins the game.

oh also happy father's day. 

Church

This is my second weekend at SF.

So this is my second time to go to church. Same church,HOLY WORD.

But today,Jane and I decided to go to first at 9.30 and speak English.

I can realize what she said on the stage but I cannot find where bible words is?

So I concentrate at what she said.

Roughly,she told about how God watch each one of us.

Even though there are so many people on the earth. He still watch us personally.

I feel safe after her speech.

Yes! God is watching us , no matter where you are or who you are.

Lunar、Final course and city tour

Lunar design.....

we went to see it and the president John came to receive us.

I guess many friends of mine know about Lunar's podcast.

Thanks Leo for that information,so I listen to it at very first and became a audience loyalty.

I really happy about to see him although he only prepare a ppt just like a routine.

But i still ask some question about sustain design which was last topic in podcast.

My question was that I guess if we can extend product life ,we might lose our job.

Ha, It is a trick question.

He said many stuff about how to extend product life such as design for disassembling or use material properly and finally he said it is always a conflict , I believe it.

My friend of mine know me that I always support sustain.

I just curious about people who support that ,specially product designer.

I still can remember one time ,I discuss that with one friend of mine who work for fashion industry.

Obviously,She don't like it.I am happy someone agree my point.

 

Friday is last course that we need to take at Zoe design.

Kelly will be our lecturer at forenoon.

Another Lecturer is a market research company.

Kelly prepared many stuff about product process and how to find a target market.

Really good and well prepared lecture.

But maybe sometime his English was so fast that I cannot follow him and missed a lot.

I still learn some thing.

Actually ,one thing.

I can remember what experience used told me how to sever our customer.

I learn how to satisfy customer instead of guide them to right direction.

Sometimes,I fulfill what customer want not people or my desire.

I feel pain and frustrated many times. 

Today the lesson who kelly teach us.

I guess many stuff are important but most important to me is that find the true bull's eye.

It is market.

Although,I realize that some clint in Taiwan.

Market always means big buyer or channel and clint only listen to them.

And the only thing they need us is to build a different form for them.

Always a struggle like John used to said.

Afternoon,Steve was our lecturer.

The most interesting thing he shared with us is different point of view.

He showed us many ordinary photos.

But he see it through an extra-ordinary view and it showed different cultural inside.

It is interesting.

I asked him how he can see through this photos?

He said that is what he love to do and getting better and better.

I guess it is.

After class, I came to him and ask one more question.

Steve used to be a one man company.

He just hired an employee.

And sometimes,his clients are big brand.

I am curios about did his client will judge him through his office and how many people 

at his company?

He mentioned one time there is one client who came from Japan want to see his office.

But he work at home. ha ha

The result was good of course.

Most of his client will not care about how big his company is?Steve said.

Oh~I love this country.

 

one&co.、frog

One&co. and frog .......... we went to there yesterday..

One&co. is a real trendy company.

Through as I stay in Taiwan,I saw his portfolio and look like it is familiar with my old company.

But after this two weeks,I have to said it is real trendy company no matter interior or portfolio.

And what about frog??

It is only company we need to write a document of confidential.

It remind me about how I give that kind paper to our vendor,ha-ha.

the frog we visit is located at SF.

Most project they did is GUI or interface like not product design.

They said product design is at San jose not here.

I feel nothing about that company.

And during lunch time we went to see baseball at AT&T.

It was awesome!!

Actually,only very time I ever play baseball during my junior high.

I don't know why?I guess that there are no friends of mine play that sport,so...

But the feel is good and most important was the place we stood is free.

I like free stuff..... ha-ha.

True-brand&Receiver

the day before yesterday,we went to two different company.

one is True-brand another one is Receiver.

As we came into True-brand,all place are so quiet and little dark.

Look like we enter a place which is an old gentleman live inside.

Then,vincent came in.

and prepared a portfolio powerpoint for us.

many client he sever for are airplane company.I guess one that kind of project will be very helpful on company.

and many other big brand that I never heard before like wellsfargo etc.

Most interesting thing happen after he showed us same their presentation.

An airplane company project,he showed many elegant idea to us. But we saw some ideas are so wild that we cannot believe that are their design.

Kind of scary.

of course we asked the reason why?

he said client always want you try same thing more wild ,no-boundary design.

If you don't do that kind of design,they will asked you to do more.

So that kind of design is for scaring client.

and I asked he what is most important thing inside design?

He said is consistency.

I agree with him.

He also said if you did a great design but without consistency it will be a bad result.

If you did a normal design but have consistency it would be great.

And Receiver?

all stuff left my head which about that company is the slogan hang up the wall.

Absolutly no bu-shitting here.

The boss is so ...... special.

I will talk about next time.....

  

Fisherman wharf&Zoe design

Yesterday we went to fisherman wharf and today we went to Zoe design for class.
Same friend of mine complain about my English writing.
I'm afraid of my poor English is still need to be practice.
So I will writing blog by English.
I like the wharf ,crab and sea lion.
But I don't like acid bread soup at all.
Today we went to Zoe for our training program.
People who doing market research came to help us.
And we do some idea generation practice.
One for morning and one for afternoon.
The one we did at afternoon you can see it at my share photos.
It is a method which called IDEA BOX.
They usually do it with the customer they want to understand not designers.
But I think it is a good idea game for designer too.
Because sometimes we do design just by our own view point.
This game can help us change our mind and direction which we saw products.
I am happy to join this class and win a STARBUCKS' gift card.
