I was introduced to this term "maker movement" some months ago during an event. The idea about maker movement is about how we can create things instead of buying of our own using old, recycle, reusable products or anything in our daily lives.
This terms put me thinking about my family and in fact we have always been a "maker" family since young. We never threw away our old and broken toys. My brother will always glue it back or "mash up" broken toys into a new toy for me. As for my mum, being a professional bag maker, seamstress, she will always remove zips, clips or any reusable parts from pants or bags that we going to throw. With these parts we can always replace on other bags and such. She make new pencil cases, bags and even hate for us.
The whole idea about Maker movement is to create and/or prolong our items and products in such a way that our things can last longer, saving money from buying new stuff as well as the earth. It also includes the idea about DIYing instead of always buying and that is totally my family apparently. I might not explain it very well here but you can read a little more about it on wikipedia. It's quite cool to know that having such practice all these while and it actually has a nice name to it.
Stroking My Ego
I guess that's an overview for the makers movement but I guess I'm not really one of those "captain planet" kinda guys that do things for a huge cause of saving the earth. I guess you can call me shallow and self centred but for me, the idea of making my own things and customising things is all about being unique and special, aka stroking my own ego.
I created my own logo some moons ago and there I created my own badges as well as caps. And things didn't stop there, I also created my own badges for my wedding with the help of Superstore Singapore!
Who still gives silly badges these days? These ain't just silly badges. They are alsobottom bottle openers! And also in various alternatives such as pocket mirrors, keychains or even fridge magnet!
And if this is not enough? You can even make you own notepads! Why? Because iPad is too mainstream and it is time for SMITHPAD! (that didn't come out as cool as i thought)
How cool right! And what is that two totebags doing there? I am glad you asked! It is customised by the good people from superstore Singapore too!
Hahaha! Super funny caption right? This is such a good gift for any events! I mean even batman creates all his branding and what not all the time. He sure is a man of ego and contradiction too. Like you are suppose to work in the night and save the world and do not want recognition but putting your logo big big on your suit? On your car? And customised logo weapons? Seriously?
Then again, he is rich so I can't blame him for being a ego-maniac, but the good thing is that at Superstore you do not need to be rich! Everyone can have their own customised items be it for stroking ego or corporate events!
