TASK1

First Video

Tracy mentioned in the video that she had built two successful and influential websites. One was a collection of essays about Generation X being middle-aged now, and the other taught millions of people how to sew cloth masks. It is worth noting that there is a huge difference in the time spent on these two websites, but the results of these two websites have a huge impact, which makes me think about the relationship between the nature of so-called popular and design.

From a variety of cases, the nature of hot topics such as COVID-19, gender equality and environmental protection is that they can arouse wide attention and emotional responses, are timely, controversial and influential, and rapidly expand to all levels through modern media. Incorporating hot topics into design not only increases the visibility of a brand or individual, but also enhances innovation, enhances market competitiveness, and promotes social dialogue and cultural development.

Secondly, Tracy also mentioned one of her design concepts, that is, the triangle. In it she says, Help make sense of world a bit better, with visuals/Superficial embroidery/Making people feel something, Achieving two of these three is her design principle. In other words, the core of design is to make people better understand the world through design, while achieving a certain purpose through visual effects or emotional resonance.

Finally, she also mentioned the team's help in her transition from print to digital, which reminds me that in daily learning, there are always some academic difficulties and problems that can be solved by working with peers and classmates. In other words, cooperation and communication among peers, that is, teamwork, has a positive effect on problem solving.

Second Video

First of all, the practice of employing services for disabled people in this cafe set up by the laboratory allows the public to have more direct contact with disabled people through practical scenes, which helps to break the inherent prejudice of society against disabled people and enhance the public's understanding and acceptance of them. The performance of persons with disabilities at work can also demonstrate their abilities and value, further promoting social equality and respect.

In addition, the video urges the government to introduce relevant policies that can encourage enterprises to hire disabled people and provide necessary support and subsidies. Enterprises should actively explore jobs and employment modes suitable for persons with disabilities, such as flexible working hours and remote working, so as to create more employment opportunities for them, and realize the dual promotion of social value and corporate responsibility.
