Hand Made Jewellery...

Hand made jewellery is personal, Someone took the time to hand manufacture those pieces, It has a different feel to it then machine made jewellery, Its not as well finished as machine made,  the mistakes is what makes a piece interesting and different. Hand made jewellery can be expensive but machine made jewellery is more expensive to make. Hand made jewellery comes in unique designs and styles, It can be given as a great gift to your friends and relative. You can even have it custom made according to their likeness and taste. There are many designers who provide sterling silver and pure silver jewellery to their customers. These pieces retain their individuality.

Infecting the city....

I first heard of Infecting the city from the posters at the train station and on the radio. I thought it was really interesting.The artists that performed there was great. There was a  different stands, with different performances,even in the golden acre.It was so fun to watch, and really made me proud to be an South African.It invites people in and it makes you appreciate and celebrate the cultural riches that have been overlooked and neglected.

What makes a good design?

For me, What makes a good design is a difficult question, because it is subjective. It is a matter of personal taste, so it's hard seperating good design from bad design .But I would say A good design is meeting a given requirement, meaning if a client comes to you and ask for a specific design, and you make it exactly how they wanted it, it's a good design.

 You should also consider if working with colour, because some people have emotional associations with certain colours, the same with shape and size. Design needs to fit a purpose, it needs to attract people.

Quality,functionality, uniqueness, I would say is a few words that you need in a good design, things that make a design good.
