Whenever I look at modern design, first thing that come up in my mind is "Oh! I can make that simple thing!" but just as the image states, I didn't put into action.
"A shield is a type of personal armor, meant to intercept attacks, either by stopping projectiles such as arrows or by glancing a blow to the side of the shield-user. Shields vary greatly in size, ranging from large shields that protect the user's entire body to small shields that are mostly for use in hand-to-hand combat. Shields also vary a great deal in thickness; whereas some shields were made of thick wooden planking, to protect soldiers from spears and crossbow bolts, other shields were thinner and designed mainly for glancing blows away (such as a sword blow). In prehistory, shields were made of wood, animal hide, or wicker. In antiquity and in the Middle Ages, shields were used by footsoldiers and mounted soldiers. Even after the invention of gunpowder and firearms, shields continued to be used. In the 18th century, Scottish clans continued to use small shields, and in the 19th century, some non-industrialized peoples continued to use shields (e.g. Zulu warriors). In the 20th and 21st century, shields are used by military and police units that specialize in anti-terrorist action, hostage rescue, and siege-breaching. The term often refers to a device that is held in the hand/arm, as opposed to anarmoured suit or a bullet proof vest." words are straight from wikipedia. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield
I think shield and container could have similar meaning behind it. Both protect something. One by blocking something by holding a shield and the other blocking something by containing.
"Do you miss your childhood?" I searched this question on
I got several answers.
Some people miss playing collecting Pokemon card(or could be other character cards), some people miss watching kids' TV show early in the morning. Life was simple back then. We did not have to worry about real life when we were child nor make decision on our own. Purity, fun, and curiosity. Fun, playful and colorful design.
