    Film Analysis; FilmDesign

    by
    So for this assignment, we were supposed to watch a movie and do what the instructions said. Frankly, all of those movies looked very boring. So I’m gonna do the same assignment, but I am going to talk about Gran Torino. (Because it’s my absolute favorite movie of all time.) Design in this sense means … Continue reading

    Complete a DesignBlitz. To be fair, nature is a design. And most of the time it’s a beautiful design. So that’s why one of my photos is of a tree. I will explain more when I get there.

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    Pragmatics, discipline, ambiguity; these are just some of the things that Vignelli talks about in this short booklet. To be quite honest, I didn’t take away from it as much as I thought I would, but there were a lot of really good points he talked about. I’ll share a few with you: I really … Continue reading
