Designers

    This video was very interesting to watch and offered up a lot of good arguments. Designs have become a lot more based on presentation than performance, like the speaker was saying with his first few products. Design thinking should be focused on more, like with Brunelle's railway design. Design thinking can be done by everyone, so it shouldn't solely be left in the hands of designers.

An Interview with Montygog

Interview with Montygog

    This was very interesting and neat to read. Montygog seems like a great artist who took inspiration from the same sources I did. I can really relate to Montygog because I taught myself how to draw. I also always try to improve my art and never give up on it.

Designs Are Important

Rethinking The Way We Sit Down

    This was an entertaining and thought-provoking video to watch. Some of the designs were really cool, like the set of chairs at the beginning of the video. Good points were made as well, like that designs don't always have to be extravagant and lavish. In fact, they can be something as simple as marks on a gas mask or a plate for food. Regardless, all designs make using certain objects cool to do, and thinking of how to design objects is a fun process as well. Hopefully designs continue to be an integral part of our society.

How to Ruin a Great Design

     This was a very interesting article to read. I think it's a shame that people don't take the time to make sure traffic signs are done correctly. Not only is this confusing to drivers, but dangerous as well. They could be so focused on figuring out what the sign says that they don't pay attention to the road. Hopefully this is just a temporary problem, as it was said in the article not all signs are like this.
