Logo design for Chinatown Amsterdam
Jenny ask me if i can design a logo for china town amsterdam, and this is the logo before 
it’s kind from I amsterdam logo
. 
As for me, i like it,simple,directly,but they want to do is add more chinese elements in, but not with the traditional chinese font.
So what i think is make it as chinese old interior decoration, but used in font and simple way, and together with amsterdam logo, 3x X ,haha here it is
How do think about it?
Amsterdam have a lots differences form Hangzhou, Wenzhou or any cities i have been in china, which more interested in me is that shops, I always love hanging out without any purpose just walking, looking and photographing.
Just a glance, i found a nice shop today, located in central Amsterdam, called “De Tweede Ronde” ( the second round), which make sense it’s secondhand shop. The shop owner is old lady who lives upstairs.
The lady sitting right there, such a Vermeer painting
Raise the curtain appear so sweet picture
what i really feel as soon as i entered this shop, home atmosphere surround you, it’s more than a shop’s feeling, for me it’s as grandma tastes, maybe because the shop owner is an old lady, she can put her clothes, jewelries, her personal collections all together.
That’s the simple life in AMSTERDAM, own a shop without purpose of earning money, just a place to show your collections.

Naomi Wolf “The Beauty Myth”
The Beauty Myth, published in 1991, is a book by Naomi Wolf. It examines beauty as a demand and as a judgement upon women. Subtitled How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women, Wolf examines how modern conceptions of women’s beauty impact the spheres of employment, culture, religion, sexuality, eating disorders, and cosmetic surgery.
Wolf argues that women in Western culture are damaged by the pressure to conform to an idealized concept of female beauty—the Iron Maiden throughout modern society, from Victorian Times to today. She argues that the beauty myth is political, a way of maintaining the patriarchal system. It allows women to enter the labour force, but under controlled conditions. She also claims that this system keeps women under control by the weight of their own insecurities. The beauty myth is sometimes viewed as succeeding The Feminine Mystique, which relegated women to the position of housewife, as the social guard over women. In this sense, Wolf claims that public interest in a woman’s virginity has been replaced by public interest in the shape of her body.

Web Design
Thinking about anther face my web looks like, it could be more artistic, modern,as a painting of Piet Mondrian, so it will be like this~~
Or it could be more culture, filled with Chinese elements, so I think about Chinese paper cut, some of the paper cut are very fashionable~
Talk about fashion, most people will think about fashion show, what kind of fashion show in China looks like? There maybe a fashion show~~
Discovery
I found a interesting thing from internet, which is the similarity with Vogue’s sketch in 1980s and the dress in china in the same time.
Maybe it will be a easy answer in today, but at that time, China just had open door policy, people have little chance to see a foreign magazine or touch foreign culture. Fashion is always a fantasic thing, nomatter in 1980s or now, you can find the similar clothes in all of the world.
Dutch design week
http://www.dutchdesignweek.nl/index.php?lang=nl
From October 18 through October 26, Eindhoven is for the seventh time the platfrom for Dutch Design Week, the lagest design event in the Nestherlands.
I find it the thinking way is quit different from dutch students to chinese students, dutch students are more open, directly , a lot of design are out of order,very funny and creative. You see the picture below, simple idea,just turn over the chair, it can be the trashcan.
Simple and Creative.
Don’t make me think
People often ask me:
”What’s the most important thing should I do if I
want to make sure my Web site is easy to use?”
The amswer is smple. It’s not “Nothing important should ever de more than two click away,” or “Speak the ueser’s language,” or even “Be consistent.” It’s…
“Don’t make me think!”
Also, when I doing this blog, I am thinking about this “Don’t make me think”, don’t make users think, so I need to think ,then I began to thrink how to make it easy and conveniently.
Im still thinking…
