The whole time I watced Design for Life I couldn't help but wonder how these people were selected and where they came from. Their lack of initiative and work ethic was very poor on their part to the point where I was actually a little embarassed. And sadly as bad as it seems, I was reminded of myself in some of my previous project where I really didn't have an urge to design or get things done. But given the opportunity to work with Phillipe Starck I know things would be different. Presented with such an opporunity, I know I would work to my full potential just to gain the experiences and fully embrace the opportunity presented to me.
Design for Life as a television show was an interesting one for me despite certain parts such as some of the presentations as it really showed me the world of design in a different perspective. It showed me how others react to certain stimuli and their work process because while what I learn is one thing, they know something completely different and while it's all design, it's all different.
I wouldn't say I really enjoyed all of the episodes but it was insightful and while showing errors in the participants ways, it highlighted errors in my ways and has actually inspired me to not work in that way.
