In this weeks TED talk, Tim Brown talks about design thinking. He explains that we have to take a different view of design, and focus less on the object and more on design. By doing that we can see a bigger impact. He also talks about how design thinking is balancing desirability, what humans need, with technical feasibility, and economic viability. Tim wants design thinking to be applied to topics like global warming, education, healthcare,and clean water. He wants design thinking to make a positive impact and create new ideas.

I had some trouble with the sizing of the second one. Sorry 

Dave Perillo's art style feels very nostalgic. The muted colors and the 50's pop art gives it a great feeling. I really enjoyed the fact that he started out on deviantart and then was asked to participate in an art gallery. I feel like that is many 13 year old artists' dream. I also enjoyed that he said we dont need a million Garfields out there. Being influenced by another artist is a great way to start your own art style, but being unique is also very important.

Niels Diffrient talked about his romance with airplanes. Not actually being in love with an airplane, but the love for the aesthetics,and the feeling for the design if objects. After over 25 years with his love for airplanes, he quit. The romance was gone. He decided to work with chairs for office workers. He designed a chair that would not interfere with the main reason a person is sitting there. He realized that nobody actually readjusts their chair according to their body type, so he made one that would be a good fit for everyone.
