I thought it would be a challenge to try to find these design elements in one area, so most of these pictures were taken in Curitiba! Minimalism/Use of Space The design here is very minimal, with very few objects crowding the space. I think it accomplishes what it needs to – it is an open […]

This article really got me thinking about how much of what I see on a day to day basis has been designed by someone, like street signs, posters, food packaging, etc. It’s something that can easily be overlooked. People put their creativity and effort into designing these common things around us. I also thought it […]

Create some sort of graphic. Design the overall graphic to convey some sort of feeling or theme, but then have text saying something completely contradictory to the theme or feeling.

I really enjoyed doing this reading on all that goes into design. It is truly wild when you think about it and break it all down. EVERYTHING IS DEIGNED. We are all designers. Everything in life is deigned in some type of way even if it is unintentional. We learned based on the readings about the disciplines in which go into it all. We think about people and the way in which we live our lives. We think about emotion … Continue reading "Design Thoughts"

For my final design assignment, I made a propaganda poster for DS106! I have always loved the aesthetic of propaganda posters, mostly because regardless of the topic or intent, they are so heavy-handed in their rhetoric that they can often be unintentionally comical.
