Design Museum (GRC Post 7)

A few days ago, we visited the Design Museum. It was a very, very interesting place. One exhibit that was particularly interesting was the show exhibit. I never realized how much thought goes into a shoe.

I really enjoyed this thing that showed all of the parts of a shoe--many which you wouldn't even have thought of.

There were so many different shapes, sizes, designs, colors, patters and so much more that goes into shoes. I really liked the way they designed this particular exhibit. It was the whole second floor, so there was plenty of room for everything to be played out.

I also really enjoyed all of the innovative designs. One of the most memorable to me was a streetlamp that plays with your shadow. It isn't something that will be super useful, just a little entertainment! 

There was also an exhibit stating the reasons for design. I enjoyed the vacuum with a sign that read "Sheer frustration inspires new design," which is so true. Vacuums would never have been created if people weren't fed up with the tedious action of using dust pans.
