Renowned physicist Stephen - Hawking (Stephen Hawking) has warned that human efforts to establish wireless communication with the potential threat to human aliens! If aliens detected signal from us, and the ability to reach Earth, which suggests that the Earth is more advanced alien civilization of mankind than, I think the aliens arrived on Earth as Christopher - Columbus (Christopher Columbus) the first landing on the American continent, our results would not be good to go than the American people.

But how do we know that the first action after the performance of the aliens landed Earth, they are vicious creatures, or vice versa? Shostak said, for this speculation, we do not need to go beyond the Earth will be able to find the answer. Aggressive evolution is a feature of the Earth beings, it will help us achieve and protect resources. While pressure may appear alien and evolution, limited resources in a completely different environment conditions will change their behavior. Shostak said: "I guess any planet in the universe resources are limited."

1.      Title of Movie



                                   Cinderella (2015)

Cinderella is a 2015 romantic fantasy film directed by Kenneth Branagh, from a screenplay written 

by Chris Weitz. Produced by David Barron, Simon Kinberg and Allison Shearmur for Walt Disney 

Pictures, the story is inspired by Charles Perrault's eponymous fairy tale. Although not a direct 

remake, the film heavily borrows elements from Walt Disney's 1950 animated musical film of the 

same name. The film stars Lily James as Ella ("Cinderella"), Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine (the 

Wicked Stepmother), Richard Madden as Prince Charming, Sophie McShera as Drisella,Holliday Grainger as Anastasia and Helena Bonham Carter as The Fairy Godmother.

The film received generally positive critical reviews and has grossed over $397 million worldwide.

2.      Summary Plot

"The story of Cinderella follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drisella into the family home. But, when Ella's father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to 'have courage and be kind.' She will not give in to despair nor despise those who abuse her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an employee at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears as if her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming 'Kit.' Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella's life forever."

3.      Reflective From the Movie

The first element of a movie I chose Cinderella's glass slipper, the glass slipper is the key to push the plot, Wear the glass slipper will become a beautiful princess. this pair of glass slipper is easy to let people know that this is a fairy tale about Cinderella. But to say, glass slipper is a symbol of Cinderella.

Pumpkin car in the movie is not very common, pumpkin car is a fairy tale movie "Cinderella" in the key props. In this movie pumpkin car symbolizes this status changes from low to high, and pumpkin car represents the direction of achieving good wishes. So, I chose pumpkin cars as a key element of the film.

The third key element I chose the broom, the broom intuitively reflect the true identity of Cinderella, and also tell you that the level of identity does not affect people's determination to pursue their dreams, so I chose the third element of the broom. Each person's birth, the ability of each person is different, but all have a conviction to pursue their dreams. When you have a dream, we should defend it.

In the movie "Cinderella" after midnight, everything must change back. According to this story, I chose a stop at 12:00 midnight watch as a key element, 12:00 midnight is an important element to promote the movie's plot twists, When people saw this movie for the midnight 12:00 must be very familiar with this story, So I chose the fourth element stopped at 12:00 midnight watch.

In the movie "Cinderella", the broom as representatives Cinderella maids, while the blue princess dress as representatives Cinderella princess. Skirts and broom is a strong contrast to the group, I learned from this movie, when we are a princess, do not go to pride. When we are maids, do not go to envy Princess luxury. So I chose the fifth element is blue princess dress.

Classic definitions of art

“Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture” – Wikipedia

In my opinion art is a special way of entertainment game people in daily life, but also is a way for people to communicate.

Digital Artist: Jeffrey Shaw

Digital Artist: Douglas Gordon

Cultural unification: art and technology

1.     From the people's ideas, art and technology are two different things. Technology is the human understanding of nature, society and human own physiology, psychology and thinking of the knowledge system, the human pursuit of this knowledge usually with rational characteristics; art is human emotion and imagination of the aesthetic form of expression and creation, it usually carries the perceptual characteristic

2.     The carrier of art design and technology is mankind to impose their will on the natural world, to create a kind of activity of human civilization to. The design needs the support of technology, also need art to express feelings. Then, the design will become the carrier of art and technology.

TOOL BOOX

Designer Tool Box

Each design people should have a toolbox, it is packed with things we usually use, at the same time it also contained our dream,my toolbox filled with some usually used in painting, manual materials ,the following is my toolbox things inside.

PACKAGING

Packaging refers to the objects of the external protection and decoration, marketing type package focuses on planning strategies and become generalized packaging. Packaging is to protect the products, in the process of circulation and convenient storage and transportation, to promote sales, the overall name according to certain technical methods of containers, materials and auxiliary materials; also refers to in order to achieve the above goal in the use of containers, application process and auxiliary materials in certain technical methods of operating activities.


I do is rice packaging, because rice bag is very big, with rice, a lot of, if you are a person of life, a bag of rice to eat, will have bugs, or cooking did not finish, will waste food.

This is a package of expansion graph

The packaging had the picture, there is LOGO, LOGO is used Chinese word write  

--粮

This package is meant to people not to waste food, food source is very difficult, today  waste is the tomorrow want 

Packaging analyse

 Tea

Disadvantages:

brand image immutable and frozen, trademark tea varieties of a single, but whether outer or inner packaging are not out of shape in the numerous brand. advertising for publicity too little tea packaging, tea is not innovation design change, so can not give consumers a new impression and impact.

I think we should change the inner and outer packing, for example in the outer packaging of the open mode and the external packing material, color, pattern.

Pattern can be simple and elegant, because tea gives a person to feel very elegant.

The outer packing material can use bamboo, flax, open mode is as follows:

This is the lipto lemon tea, the outer packaging can replace other materials, wooden or iron box plastic box, carton easily by soaking in water, if use another box of tea drink, can use the box to put something else, or a decoration

The renewal of the idea is more important than technology updates, tea in addition to "quantitative, health, convenient, fast", tea also has a strong inclusive, such inclusion can break the traditional concept of tea, tea varieties richer consumers. According to the types of teas, can produce the traditional tea bags, such as Oolong Tea, Pu'er Tea tea, Black Tea, Green Tea, Tuo, tea, jujube tea, Jasmine Tea, lemon tea, rose tea, eucommia tea, ginseng tea, lotus leaf tea and so on, also can produce two or more than two kinds of combination of tea, you can also add health tea of various raw material for the production of diverse and so on.

The outer packing need to attract the eyes of the people, let people have a desire to buy, can replace the materials, such as bamboo, wooden box, box, change of package shape, and to open the way, I drew an example as follows

EGG

Usually adopts transparent plastic box with a partition function, and is composed of two U type screw fixation, paste the text label. Consumers can see the content is damaged, color, quality how; more non brand egg was placed directly in the moulded pulp pallet, by the consumer choice in a plastic bag, causing more damage; some egg is placed in the box, the consumers can't see the contents, the understanding of its commodity characteristics only from the outer packing in the description text

The packaging is too single and simple, the lack of personality, can't satisfy people's requirement of beauty. Plastic packaging box Unrecyclable utilization, environmental pollution, does not meet the requirements of people on environmental protection packaging

Improved:

With the increase of consumption level, people will put the egg as a gift to a friend, we can use another egg of outer packing material, using color corrugated paper, the outer packing is gift box, gift box will put straw, prevent the egg break,

edible oil

We live in the edible oil is plastic bottle packaging, plastics are mainly consisted of DBP and DOP is harmful to the human body, we should buy glass bottles or iron packaging of edible oil

The main change of edible oil packaging, change the material and for edible oil bottle mouth changes, edible oil bottle mouth is too big, often can not control the dosage, sometimes put too much oil, so change the bottle, my idea is to use the bottle extrusion shaped, as shown in Figure

Rice

Rice packaging grades low: as everyone knows, packaging plays an important role in the publicity of goods. Rice, led to many problems exist in the process of circulation, lack of access to the international market competitiveness. See most of the use of plastic bags from the packaging materials, will bring different degrees of environmental pollution; in foreign countries, such as Germany, most of the rice is carton packaging, 500g box, highlight the advantages of this paper packaging is non-toxic, tasteless, non polluting. From look on the packing design, design more monotonous, not new, it is difficult to attract the eyes of consumers. From the rice certification, some is not complete, lack the necessary certification, currently marked with the QS certification, green food and organic food, not much.

Because of their limited technical level, easy to cause the packaging  bag breaking, so as to cause a lot of trouble for rice sales, storage

A bag of rice a lot, if it is a person's life, will eat, a long time will have bugs, so should the packaging bag becomes small, can use the wooden box, carton, can give the box with scale, cooking for one use much, two people use much, so as not to waste food
