One thing that stuck out to me the most from this article was the excerpt on colors. Popova describes how mixing colors can evoke certain moods in a viewer. I’ve been programming for a very long time and my favorite part is designing websites. It’s very rewarding for a design or sketch come together perfectly …

This week we were asked to take a look at graphic design. I originally looked at what Vignelli posted and he showed us the simple design. I found it facsinating the process he used and how simple it was to create while making it thought provoking. I then moved to a Kid’s Guide to Graphic ... Read moreDesign Resources

First things first, I absolutely love graphic design. As soon as I saw this was design week, I got so excited. I did a lot of graphic design my senior year of high school when I was taking an Advanced Design class and Photojournalism (working on the school’s yearbook). I am so ready to create…

February 20, 2019

When it comes to design, I am very much an amateur. I’ve done a good amount of projects throughout the years where I’ve had to make posters or brochures. And those have turned out pretty nice. But that is just about all my experience with designing anything. I guess you could say that we all …

Design is so important. It’s in everything we do. More importantly it pulls stories together. To learn a bit more about design I decided to read Massimo Vignelli’s “The Vignelli Cannon”. This was a read suggested to us this week but I was more than happy to dive in and invest my time in reading […]

Q’s of the Week/Reflection

February 20, 2019

What makes a poster look like a poster is the size of the poster, the creativity of the poster (eye popping), is its own unique style, text is visible from a far, variances in text sizes, and the layout of the poster. What makes a book cover look like a book cover is that on …

What is design? When I first read this question, I thought I had an easy answer. However, when I tried to answer it, I had trouble putting into words what design actually is. What is design? What is it’s purpose? What makes something look like something? What distinguishes design from decoration? This week started off […]

After reading The Vignelli Canon I learned that there is are 3 aspects to design: Semantic, Syntactic and Pragmatic. It’s actually slightly similar to the steps of software development. As you start with planning then implementing. In the article, Brain Pickings article about Kidd and his book, They discuss the importance of designing and how…

This week I read a short booklet by Massimo Vignelli called The Vignelli Canon. Then I read a cool Brain Pickings article about Kidd and his book and followed a few of the links on the website including an interview Chip Kidd did. First of all, the article was a cool example of how the hyperlinks can make …

Design is a very interesting concept. It’s all around us. So much so that we even notice it. The late Bill Moggridge once stated that it doesn’t occur to most people that everything is designed — that every building and everything they touch in the world is designed. I find this to be very true. …

“Graphic design is message-sending into the brain.” I really liked this quote from graphic designer Chip Kidd. I never really thought of a design as being a message to your brain. Designs can be anything from simple to complex, just depends on what the design is trying to portray. Simple design such as a circle …

Design is everything. Everything is design. It really is everywhere, though. We talk about it in HISP classes, mostly architectural, but occasionally interior as well. Design is what I knit, what I wear, how I arrange my ridiculously large collection of stuffed animals, and those stuffed animals themselves. Designs follow temporal trends, but the very…

This is really interesting to think about. I don’t think it’s that I never noticed that everything that’s not made by nature was designed by someone, I just think I took that fact for granted. Look around in my room, every single thing around me was created by someone sitting down and deciding how it … Continue reading Design Thoughts
