stockholm-based designers humans since 1982 have created 'collection of light'. each light bulb has been categorized and organized, 
framed in repurposed 70 year old insect collection drawers in order to accomplish the visual harmony and systematic arrangement 
of a true series. each piece is an assembly of LED lights labeled by size, name, color and temperature. 
the glass framed electrical components have been manufactured in a hand-made, limited edition series. 
the body of work includes three lighting objects: a 300 LED display with 3 editions, and smaller 150 and 90 LED displays with
10 versions each.

The Color Phenomenon of Glass Packaging

The Color Phenomenon of Glass Packaging on Prezi

glass coloring

Ordinary soda-lime glass appears colourless to the naked eye when it is thin, although iron oxide impurities produce a green tint which can be viewed in thick pieces or with the aid of scientific instruments. Further metals and metal oxides can be added to glass during its manufacture to change its color which can enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Uranium (0.1 to 2%) can be added to give glass a fluorescent yellow or green color.^[7] Uranium glass is typically not radioactive enough to be dangerous, but if ground into a powder, such as by polishing with sandpaper, and inhaled, it can be carcinogenic. When used with lead glass with very high proportion of lead, produces a deep red color.

how to color glass

The color is glass can bring much beauty to a glass object. Knowing how to color glass can give your glass projects lots of personality and uniqueness.

Ancient glass makers had no control as to what color the glass would be. The methods of how to color glass where through experiments that early glass makers made by adding other minerals to the glass mixture.

Experts in coloring glass resided in Egypt and Rome, giving us the wide spectrum of different color options for glass.

Before complicated stained glasses found in Churches, the first glass pieces made with color where simple bottles and cups.

Later on the stained glass windows become very popular and where placed in Church windows with designs according to the religion.

However, during those times despite having discovered how to color glass, they still had to figure how to make the color last. Sun exposure and other materials would make the color in the glass fade and change with time.

Now modern technology can easily color glass and make the color last as well. To color glass all you need is the right minerals in the glass making mixture.

Why Glass?

Why choose a glass water bottle over plastic? It allows you to sip colder and more pure-tasting water, looks sleek and elegant, and is thicker and sturdier than plastic. Glass is also better for the planet: made from all-natural, sustainable raw materials, glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused endlessly. Plus, glass is just as portable as plastic, so you can take your bottle virtually anywhere!

Here are a few more reasons why glass is better than plastic for the environment and for you:

• Roughly 2.7 million tons of plastic are used each year worldwide for disposable drinking bottles. Less than 1% of all plastic is recycled, meaning 99% of plastics are incinerated or end up in a landfill.
• Americans buy an estimated 29.8 billion plastic water bottles every year, and nearly 8 out of every 10 bottles will end up in a landfill. Once there, it takes over 500 years for plastic bottles to break down.
• It is estimated that the production of plastics accounts for 4% of the energy consumption in the United States. Plastic is bad for our Earth, and uses up valuable resources!
• Glass is the only packaging material generally regarded as safe by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Glass is made from all-natural, sustainable raw materials, is 100% recyclable, and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity.

• Story Of Bottled Water
• MSNBC
• Plastic Bottle Facts
• Earth 911

• Glass, unlike some plastic bottles, does not contain any harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalate, PVC, or polycarbonate, so nothing can leach into your water from a glass bottle.
• Plastics made from polycarbonate resin can leach bisphenol-A (BPA), a strong endocrine disrupter, into its contents. Studies suggest that BPA may negatively affect reproductive organs, such as the breasts and prostate, as well as causing potential heart problems.
• You can save money and Earth’s resources by utilizing an eco-friendly, reusable, recyclable glass water bottle.
• Glass is taste-neutral, so no plastic or metallic taste will affect your beverage. Try our taste-test challenge: Sample various beverages from glass and plastic and let us know what you find out!
• You can safely refill your glass bottle as much as you want, and drinking the recommended daily intake of water means a healthier you.

TV

My object is the TV, because it takes a big place in most of the people’s lives. We watch the news, we listen to music, and we watch films, documentaries, competitions and so much more. The field is getting bigger day by day.

We all know that today’s form of TV is not how it used to be. It was nearly twenty times thicker, and the screen was nearly half the size of the general ones we use now. Most importantly, it was colorless. It also spent more electricity and it was more expensive. It didn’t have remote control. There was only one channel. As we can see, it has improved a lot.

I want to talk about the specialties. First of all, the screen has improved in a way to minimize the discomfiture to the eye. New technologies popped up, like LED or LCD. The pixels are redounded. More colors, more vivid scenes.. And it got slimmer, lighter. Now we can hang it on the walls. The shape and look of it is of course more esthetic. You can find matching color with your furniture. Also it’s trying to catch and use the other new technologies. Like USB, Bluetooth, wireless, HDMI connections, and more. By USB connection, we can directly connect flash discs, hard discs, cameras etc. HDMI lets us link more devices, like HD players or Play Stations. So the arena gets bigger. You can create a technological world for yourself.

Another thing to mention is the materials. The older TV’s were mainly made by metal. That made them heavier and more expensive. Now they are produced with plastic. And the screen is no longer made with glass.

But the TV hasn’t finished its evolution yet. It keeps improving and who knows, maybe there will be 3D simulated TVs one day. Or maybe we won’t need the TV to watch some stuff.

sorular

-Post-endüstriyel döneme geçişi doğal kaynakların tükeniyor olması da etkiledi mi ?

-Bilgi her zaman vardı ve değerliydi ama neden post-ind. dönem sırasında para karşılığında satılan bir şey oldu ?

Sorular

#1: Makinelerin kullanımı bu kadar ön plandayken hala el yapımı eşyaların daha çok ilgi görmesi sizce makineleşmenin aslında yetersiz kaldığının bir kanıtı mıdır?

#2:Sizce makinelere veya hizmet sektörüne bu kadar inanmak mantıklı mı ?Hem insanların yarattıklarını kullanmak hem de onları saf dışı bırakmaya çalışmaktan hangisi bizim için daha yararlı?

#3: Herkesin hizmet sektörüne yönelmesi ve işçi sınıfının yok olması aslında ihtiyacımız olan hammadenin çıkarılmasında çalışan insanları da etkileyerek aslında bizim günlük hayatımızı da etkilemez mi ?

Foldable umbrella

An umbrella is without discussion,a very suitable object for rainy days. Unlike a raincoat, an umbrella can provide a larger space deprived of rain which makes it a better shelter because it is easier to move under an umbrella. It is also ideal for warm but rainy weather. Whereas the concept of umbrella itself is a design,foldable umbrellas carry this concept to a whole new level of usefulness. This function makes it easier to carry an umbrella because it fits in your bag ,sometimes even in your pocket. Since you can always carry it with you,you can always be prepared for an unexpected rain situation. Having a small umbrella makes it easier to fit in crowded places such as public transportation. It is because of these benefits that people prefer to use foldable umbrellas rahter than the big ones.

Reading the previous paragraph,you may think that a foldable umbrella is a brilliant design. But if you try to use it in a stormy day you will see that it is nothing but useless. The mecanism that allows a foldable umbrella to fold is in fact the ablitiy of the metal bars (the ones which give the umbrella it's shape) to bend.This ablitiy makes the bars vulnerable against the wind. Because of this weakened structure the umbrella keeps folding backwards and as a result you get wet. Besides it is not very easy for corpulant people to fit under small umbrellas. So there are several conditions where a foldable umbrella is not a useful object.

remote control

The object that I have chosen is a remote control. Actually it was a big invention after the invention of the television. People want to lay on their sofas and watch TV while relaxing. Changing a channel was the most difficult action for a person who was laying down a remote control was the resolution of this problem. A remote control is a really useful device which is portable and durable.

First I will talk about the factors that producers consider such as the material. It’s made of plastic which makes it less heavier. Plastic is a material used often nowadays. It’s cheap and also hardly breakable unless there is a strong force on it. The greatest problem of this material is the bad effect on health. Plastic is common used material and considered as a danger for humanity. A product of petrolium is dangerous for people. This material is easy to produce and manufacture. This cheap material makes this device cheaper. When we buy a new TV and open the box we expect to find a remote in the box. It became the main component of a TV. It’s practical and easy to learn because the producer symbolizes the function of the buttons by numbers or small symbols. To use a remote control all we need is to look on it. We will find all instructions on in. Also the visual is important. Maybe to use buttons with different colors and different shapes will draw attention.

Now I will talk about my remote control which I use every day in my room. First of all the shape of it is really useful. It has a curvy shape which makes it easier to hold. It has a medium size so it fits in our hand. It is black which matches with the color of the TV. The wireless connection is strong so we can still use it from long distance. It works with two batteries and we can use it for a longtime without changing the batteries. It is durable because it doesn’t break easily.

After all this, this device has a default for me. The organization of buttons isn’t the way that I am used to. Generally the middle of the remote control there are buttons situated like circle. Normally right and left buttons control channels, up and down buttons control the volume. But in this remote buttons up and down do not change the volume. They only help to control the menu. Volume buttons are situated in a different place so every time I search for volume buttons. I said the shape was a good detail but also it confuses because in dark I can’t find the right position. What I meant to say is the shape is ellipse so it’s hard to find the front and the back of the remote control. We have to hold the remote in a right way because of the wireless connection.

This great invention of course has some defaults but we still glad to have it.

iphone

DESIGNED OBJECT

I especially chose iPhone as a tribute to Steve Jobs' death after our first lesson about Apple products. As usual iPhone is significantly elegant in design staying true to company's tradition. One major reason that i like this mobile phone is that you never feel disappointed once you buy it. From it's looks to it's software properties it is a superior phone comparing to others.

First of all iPhone uses the latest technology and the fastest processing systems and because of it's reliability people do not hesitate to purchase it. The quality issue is a big factor on customers' decisions. Since the debut of iPod's, world met the beauty of simplicity on designs and the easy-to-use wheel that has been standardized after it's success on market. That's why iPhone also made a huge sale from the day it was released; because people now were able to access their music from their iTunes and also communicate with their contacts. iPhone fused so many useful great stuff together, it became inevitable to ignore. Some of those great stuff i mentioned about are: 5 megapixel video/camera, application store, iPod, 3G internet availability, all-touch screen and many more. I myself bought iPhone because i was used to the previous products, so i did not have to think twice about it. The way it is so compatible with other Apple devices is making it so simple to use. The basic underwork behind the handed device is massive so the phone never falls behind the current update and never fails like most of the Apple products.

The touch screen is revolutionary and is brand new, that was not present in most of the mobile phones back when iPhone was first released. This design leaves more space for the screen and that led to fun. By fun i meant the java games that are playable on the big touch screen which is another fact that people like to have one of these. In my opinion iPhone created the concept of game-phone. It made people of all ages love games again since it is so portable and fit in our pockets.

As a conclusion we can say that iPhone is almost excellent since it has a lot of free memory space up to 32 gigabytes which is incredible and unseen in any phone before. You can reach your e-mails and paste about all of your pictures and clips from your computer. But of course i have some complains about few things. One of them is about the touch key pad which sometimes becomes useless, comparing to classic button style ones because you cannot text without seeing the screen. If it was a buttoned one you could have text without looking because the letters are placed in a standard order so you wouldn't have any problem memorizing it. The other bad thing about the screen is, it is not big enough for our fingers to move in. It becomes painful after a while when you're texting a large message and you have to send it fast. You always make mistakes and press other letters since all the letters are three milimetres wide and all the characters are on the same page. This order leads to confusion. I have a simple solution for this problem. One: making the screen larger so that characters will fit in more comfortable and users won't have any problems touching the letters without accidentally touching the unwanted neighbour letters while texting. And two: placing letters in more than one slot; instead spreading them in pages. So again the letters will receive more space in means of width and height. The second major weakness of iPhone is it's battery life which was complained by many other users around the globe. iPhone doesn't last more than one day. You have to recharge it everyday. This has some negative effect on travelers. Once you are out of home, mobile phone is the only device you can communicate with out world, so this device should stay on as long as it is needed. The fact that iPhone runs too many applications within, has a great size of screen to lighten and 24/7 internet connection decreases it's battery life span. Apple should do something about this to improve durability. Other than these two minor problems that could be fixed iPhone is one of the smartest purchases i have ever made that i could think of along side with MacBook Pro which is another Apple wonder.
