Creational Design Patterns

Creational design patterns focus on handling object creation mechanisms where objects are created in a manner suitable for the situation we're working in. The basic approach to object creation might otherwise lead to added complexity in a project whilst these patterns aim to solve this problem by controlling the creation process.
Some of the patterns that fall under this category are: Constructor, Factory, Abstract, Prototype, Singleton and Builder.

Classical House Plans

Classically inspired -- also called Neoclassical house plans -- reference the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome with columns, pediments and ornament such as egg-and-dart moulding. The Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Neo Classical, Southern Colonial styles are all derived from Classical precedents and use Classical features to varying degrees. This collection includes a range of Classically-inspired home plans to illustrate how the style has been used in residential architecture.

Design Trust for Public Space is Established

 

Andrea Woodner–a sculptor trained as an architect and a native New Yorker–has a vision for an organization that can transform the life of the city by connecting city agencies with the burgeoning design community. She names it "Design Trust for Public Space" to reflect the mission of bringing design expertise and design thinking to the public realm.

Product Design

• 
• A Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications product.
• Style-Up is a trademark of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.

Body colors and interchangeable panels for this phone were developed to strike a chord with our senses by representing essential qualities. Style-Up® panels in previous models gave the handsets greater visual impact, and enabling users to add their choice of fragrance ("essential oils," so to speak) was another step in the evolution of the series. The OLED sub display, seemingly floating in a lid colored by vapor deposition, is a design detail that conveys an upscale image.

Hello?

 

Long before The Clock—Christian Marclay’s enveloping “real-time” digital panorama of clocks depicted in films—became an art-world smash last year, the artist produced a similar, if less ambitious piece. Telephones (1995) stitched together nearly eight minutes of Hollywood stars, present and past, engaging with the phone—being startled awake by its shrill clamor, gazing anxiously for an anticipated ring, fingers fumbling through the now seemingly endless rotary dialing sequence, playing a small pantomime as they wait for the person on the other end of the line to pick up.

Telephones (which Apple rather shamelessly appropriated for its debut iPhone advertising campaign) anticipates The Clock not just in technique, but in the staggering ubiquity of its object: In modern life, even before the presence of the mobile phone, you were likely to be as close to a telephone as you were to a clock. One can trace a literal progression to our very hearts: The telephone, once it began to penetrate the household (at first just the wealthiest homes), moved from front hallway to living room to kitchen to bedroom and then, finally, into the pocket. It is quite likely that the closest clock to you is now your phone.

During that trajectory, the phone went from a crafted piece of furniture to mass-produced icon of standardized industrial design to anonymous commodity object—with only a few memorable detours into “design” along the way, like the MOMA-enshrined, Gosta Thames-designed “Ericofon,” which was made by Sweden’s Ericsson, looks like something out of Woody Allen’s Sleeper and seems much better to look at than to actually use. And, then, finally, into its current form as a dematerialized “function,” one of many, on a “smartphone.” You don’t even need a “phone” anymore to make a phone call—you simply need bandwidth and an input/output device. The phone as an object reflects these fascinating changes, not only in the patterns of consumer capitalism, but the role of communication technology in our lives.

Static Web Design

For a static-content Web site, all content appearing on Web pages is placed manually by professional Web developers. We create efficient, eye appealing web designs which are functional, user and seo friendly and delightful to look at. This is also called "design-time page construction," because the pages are fully built while the site is being developed. Static-content Web site is developed and then maintained by experienced professionals. Such Web site usually costs less when initially developed, but then all future changes still have to be done by Web professionals. Therefore a static Web site can be more expensive to maintain, especially when you want to make frequent changes to your site.

Web design

 

Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.^[1] The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines

Dynamic Web Design

On the other hand, pages in a dynamic-content Web site are constructed "on the fly" when a page is requested from a Web browser. We are a Web design agency in Dhaka offering website design and development services, bespoke e-commerce, content management CMS and professional USA , Canada and UK based hosting. Dynamic-content Web site, while still developed by professionals, can be maintained directly by you, our customer. Such Web site initially costs more to develop, but then you don't have to pay Web professionals every time you need to change something on your site. If you plan to make frequent changes to your site, you most likely will be better off with a dynamic Web site.

Dynamic will invite your site visitors to become involved and engaged. Dynamic sites on the other hand can be more expensive to develop initially, but the advantages are numerous. At a basic level, a dynamic website can give the website owner the ability to simply update and add new content to the site. For example, news and events could be posted to the site through a simple browser interface. Dynamic features of a site are only limited by imagination. Some examples of dynamic website features could be: content management system, e-commerce system, bulletin / discussion boards, intranet or extranet facilities, ability for clients or users to upload documents, ability for administrators or users to create content or add information to a site (dynamic publishing).

Linking people around the world with the Internet and global trade

While the Internet has generated vast wealth for a few individuals and companies in rich countries, its promise to address global poverty by "leveling the playing field for the little guy" remains largely unfulfilled. For example, grassroots artisans worldwide still receive less than 10% of the final retail price for their beautiful creations. Even via fair trade channels it's seldom more than 15%.

Design as a process

Substantial disagreement exists concerning how designers in many fields, whether amateur or professional, alone or in teams, produce designs. Dorst and Dijkhuis argued that "there are many ways of describing design processes" and discussed "two basic and fundamentally different ways",^[9] both of which have several names. The prevailing view has been called "The Rational Model",^[10] "Technical Problem Solving"^[11] and "The Reason-Centric Perspective".^[12] The alternative view has been called "Reflection-in-Action",^[11] "Evolutionary Design",^[8] "co-evolution"^[13] and "The Action-Centric Perspective"

GOOD DESIGN

DESIGN

In a society of over-consumption, a good design has an important objective. It builds on sustainability in the sense that design and materials are durable and not just a trend. Waste and over-consumption is not a part of good design.

I also pointed out that toilet design is really important. We all use toilets every day, and they need to be the right size, and comfortable to sit on, and you need to be able to reach the paper. Cue lots of giggles and muttering of the word ‘toilet’. Want to get 4-year-olds on-side? Talk about toilets.
