how do you build greatness

Human beings have been on this earth for the better part of 15000 years, how do we go about being original with so much behind us and so much surrounding us. Yes, we can pick something very specific to focus on but the laws of mathmatical probability state that we will produce something that will show near identical signs and appearance of something that has been done before us. So should we really be focusing on reminding the world of something great that has already happened? I think as designers it is our goal to be creative and try and stumble onto something new and innovative but doing so without losing sight of our goal which in the end may just steer use right into a what of "been there done that."

to the movies

Does the movie for this design assignment really have to follow the product or can it be a artistic representation of the the ideals behind the object. Barbequing is a time honored tradition all across the globe and more often than not these days its centered around a weekend or a party normally in the summer. So who can say that a movie about a newer better set of grilling tools has to show them in comparison to the originals or even in the context of who is using them. Objects in general are something that post purchase immedaitly we begin to make our own and they like all the objects around use begin to be part of us. So should we really be making a movie about us?
