Indigo Design Network
First of all, I think those picture are very funny. She is an Asian designer, but she is not limited in one area. On the contrary, as we can see from her resume, she worked in different place. I think as a designer need to open the eyes. Because only in this way, we can design more and more interesting works. From her works, I feel Paris has full of funy. Every elements make her work more vivid. She use the simple design express to her theme -"DNA". The old style buliding, colorful street gadgets and so on. When they add some simple elements, every thing became a nice design. And those elements are all the Paris characteristics. Though her work, I know the reason of why i come to Australia, because I can learn a lot of new culture, and promote the design concept.

Native American Motifs
This is the Logo address:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_State_Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team. This team had four logo in history, the first logo was used yellow and blue colours, there is a yellow circle in the middle, On the right side of the circle have a blue text, on the left side have a picture of California with a star on the bay area. There are two changes happend after that, but not have too many change. In 1997, they changed their logo again. This was a very big change. Thereis a man with defined muscles that is blue in the front of a basketball background. He is carrying a thunder bolt. Under the him, there have a wird" warriors". it uesd orange colour. The text curves, as the 'W' is the largest letter. And right now. it is the new logo for Golden State Warriors. A blue circle for the background, and the name of Golden State Warriors text around the circle. In the circle is the famous golden gate bridge. it used the gold colour. Because the they move from Philadelphia to San Francisc. the Golden Gate Bridge is landmark building in San Francisc. And the gold colour means gold rush. I personally think it is a very funny logo, that not only use the same colour with Golden State Wattiors shirt, and also expressed the symbol of the city of San Francisco.

Scale: Much of the impact of monumental artwork such as Mount Rushmore is its sheer size. For example, Lincoln's head is 70 ft. in height (taller than the entire figure of the Sphinx). A miniature of this carving simply would not have the same impact. Conversely, a small work has a sense of intimacy - we need be close to the work to view it. Scale, alone, can change the meaning of a work of art.www.wiu.edu/art/courses/design/principles.htm
