reflection

i think that the environment is important to us and we are important to it as well. everyone plays a part in sustaining the environment, and so we should try out best to protect it.
Designs must not be confusing and/or contradicting. it must also be able to attract people to buy it.
i learnt that even though we have come out with an idea, it may be difficult to implement and we must consider all the facts. It also has to be practical.
