DesignVerb: MINI Chameleon

How do they come up with these things?



This week, DesignVerb shows the latest and greatest invention in the auto industry: color-changing cars! The colors change according to weather conditions (the paint gets brighter on rainy days to improve visibility and lightens on sunny days to cool the vehicle down), which is not only amazing, but actually pretty practical as well. Unfortunately, the MINI Chameleon is only coming out in Singapore in June. Alas, we'll just have to stick with our boring singular color cars.

I thought the video Jan showed in class today was absolutely fascinating! I love watching people with so much passion for what they do and those people were obviously going to great lengths for their craft, which is inspiring.

It also made me think about a conversation I had with Jan after class today where I told her that I didn't think my work this semester was up to my creative standards. I just don't think I have the time that I want to execute all the projects that we had. She assured me that that is just the way creative people think, and I know that, I know my standards will probably always be higher than I am able to achieve, but if I had the time that those people do to research and really let an idea develop then my designing would be really awesome. But those guys probably think they don't have enough time either...
