Powers of Ten

The Eames' film, Powers of 10, shows the world from broader perspectives.  Looking at things in a greater context can exercise your mind to think in a more proactive way, in turn pushing you to make proactive decisions and designs that create positive change.  This type of design thinking causes a ripple effect.  In the film the ripple effect was shown by zooming out several times, each time into a broader perspective.  Everything is designed, whether successfully designed or poorly designed; and everything has connections that spread to a greater context.  Everything is relative, you just have to look at things in context and from different perspectives.  Design thinking is taking an innovative and strategic approach to a problem, and the process a designer goes through to come up with an effective solution that not only solves a problem- but plays a part in a ripple effect that can shape our world.
