Journal 6

Sean Adams:
he is inspired by the declaration of Independence. Something that can be translated by people all over and evolve over time is something that inspires him.
Chip Kidd:
we as designers develope identity's. Its important to take credit for what we do, and he says that as graphic designer we get upset at this fact because we are behind the scenes and he says this leads to out drinking.
Paul Sahre:
inspired by an object that his grandfather made who is not a graphic designer, which is a bottle of old spice and the head of a doll. He showed us front, side, and rear view. I thought this was interesting so the viewer could get the best understanding of the object that he was talking about.
The head of the doll was the same diameter of the old spice bottle, and he finds it intriguing because it recombines two other objects that are designed for their own purpose.Also says that we don't need to worry about design in the future, we need to focus on the problems we are facing right now.
This talk was my favorite because this is exactly how i feel about this topic. He hit it right on the nose.
I thought it was funny how he kept talking about his computer and how it will end up in a landfill someday.
Jennifer Moria:
Eames chair is the most inspiring design object to her, and her main talk was about how can we design smarter?
Design can affect change.
Linda Tischler:
She is inspired by Fredek's plan for central park and the fact that multiple people used this facility for all different reasons.

Timeline Progress

Project Two: Time Line

Establishing order: Graphic design often relies on typo

graphy to commuicate order, information, and sytems. The goal of this project is to make things easy to read, navigate and understand. As you learned in typography one, the foundation for creating an clear informational structure is a a strong typographic hiearchy. Type size, wieght, and color are the the first steps. Graphic elements (lines, arrows, grids) and page structure are often used to aid in establishing a clear hierarchy.

Overview: Overall this project was a struggle for me to get a concept. I thought that i started off strong, but i was headed in the wrong direction. When i thought i had an idea i pulled a better one out of my butt. It was funny for me because i was trying to get my concept across through image, but im in typography class, and the best solution is TYPE. This project was very fast past, so that was also something that i had to adjust to
