When you hear or say the word “design,” what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Is it clothing design, interior design, graphic design, etc. or something completely different? This week’s focus was on design and how to implement design in different projects! I watched two TED talks this week. One was given […]

How to Design

by @JillianAviva

February 25, 2018

The videos of Scher and Carson, as well as the tutorials on Canva, made me realize how being creative and taking risks is an important part of design. Although through some of the Canva tutorials created structured “rules” on how to align your design correctly and how to pair fonts well, it also encourages you …

I do think that the videos slightly do contradict each other because the first video explains that “desire and focus” is the best tactic to complete creative advertising and design whereas in the second video we are told that being simple and not educated might be the best approach. I got from the second video […]

After listening to the talk by Paula Scher I’ve come to conclusion that you do not need to be a design professional to be successful in design. I felt like at the beginning she was talking directly to me. She said that you do not need to know what you are doing to create …

Scher and Carson both made me question my definition of design. Some of the “designs” that they showed seemed like everyday things to me. When looking at this image from Scher’s talk, I simply saw a t-shirt. Of course, I knew that shirts have to be created, but I had not seen it as a […]

Before this class, I had zero experience with audio and it has honestly been pretty intimidating. I really like how Jad Abumrad paints this picture in my head without pictures in his description about the importance of connecting through radio. Co-imagining is a really cool concept that I had never really though too deep about, …

Understanding AUDIYOOOO

In Abumrad’s first video I understood everything that he is saying and trying to get across. By audio we are forced to paint our own pictures in our minds of what the story is trying to tell us and it seems too cool to me that not one person’s picture is the same. It really […]

Frequency 2165 Frequency 2156 looks like a crowd-source audio project that tells the story of a future apocalypse scenario. The audio clips that are accessible on this site are supposed to be sent from the future back to us. This immediately creates an interesting story by tying the possible fate of our future into the […]

Radiolab and Such Jad highlighted what makes audio stories special: their lack of images. In place of these images, we have imagery that the listeners paint inside their own head. At this point, Jad says this is where the story becomes co-authored between the speaker and the listener to create a unique story in the […]
