Shape: A Film About Design

Shape is a short film that is part of MakeShapeChange, a project aimed at young people to get them thinking about how the world is made around them and where design fits in. There is a wealth of design information on the site including this statement:

Design is a simple thing that we can all use. Creative thinking for a practical purpose. Being able to imagine a stone as a spearhead, a cave as a house or a rock as part of a wall. It’s a bridge between what something is and what it could be. Between the things we make and how we use them. It’s not the whole story of the world we make around us, but it’s an important part. It’s always been there, helping us progress, and making things work better.
