Design Appreciation

Bad Design:
The handle on the top doesn't open any of the drawers and it is a bad design causing confusion.













This mouse is bad because the rectangular shape doesn't fit the hand shape which means it's hard to scroll around with it and click.









Good design:

This computer has a good design because the screen can extend until it is 180ยบ which is good so u can never over extend your screen.









This is a good product design as it stops tangly cords and it makes all the power cords easier to manage.

My Poster on environment


Tips i learned on photography:
  1. I have to be at the level of the object I'm taking a photo of
  2. I should have a plain background so there is only 1 or 2 main focus of the photo
  3. Use flash when outdoors and in sunlight
  4. Be mindful where the light is coming from
  5. Use the one third rule so u can put text in the photo.
