IV. 阅读下面短文并完成其后的问题。

Many great designers take their inspiration from nature. Here are 3 great techniques for

creating original, beautiful, nature-inspired design.

1. Explore Different Perspectives (视角)

When viewing nature from unusual or different perspectives, designers can produce more

original and visually interesting results.

Viewing nature in this way can help us focus on aspects we might have missed. Instead of

looking at the trees, pay attention to a small area of grass, a flower bed or even an unusual rock by

the sidewalk. While trees would be the main focus in a photo taken at a regular height, they

become part of the background with this fresh new perspective.

2. Stop Studying Plants

Green is beautiful, but nature offers so much more. Stop looking at trees, flowers and other

plants for a moment, and turn to natural things that have nothing to do with plant life.

Too many designers focus on leaves of some kind. Considering other parts of nature is a great

way to come up with original yet still nature-inspired designs. For example, how rock came into

being can be amazing, and animal features can also be inspiring. Just put down that leaf.

3. Use Your Imagination

Think of a natural environment you’ve never visited before, and then use your imagination as

an indirect route to create a design based on that place. Researching new scenery can lead to

inspiration.

For example, if you have never been to the Sahara Desert, it could be the blank (空白的)

field you’re looking for. We know it’s a hot desert and has distinguished scenery. We can use this

knowledge and fill the blank to create an original design.
