Rethinking the way we sit down response

what can say...im sold. I never thought I would ever have an interest or even enjoy watching someone explain a chair. I have an interest in engineering so it appealed to me to see how he brought his creation to life. He had to create a design based on the human body and how to accommodate it. He looked at the inconveniences of traditional chairs and went from there. This was part of 8 or 9 year process and a variation of loose ideas as he puts it. The end result was a well designed chair that adjust by weight and minimized the amount of levers needed on his chair. However he could not accommodate everyone with this design because you weight its self could defeat its purpose if you weighed too much or too little, so he compromised. I overall believe it to be an amazing design from its look to its functionality.

How to ruin a great design - response

How to ruin a great design?When I first read this title I did not expect to read about London road signs, but hey a design is in ever direction you look.This article was written by Alice Rawsthorn who seemed to be conflicted through the start of her article due to a few poorly designed traffic signs such as explained in her piece.Her starting example was about a Diverted cyclist sign.The problem with this sign was that the "D" was excessively larger than the rest of the signs letter making it distracting and unable to receive its initial message.The article pointed out different examples throughout that weren't all bad, but it also mentions the original creators of the design system Jock Kinneir and Margret Calvert stating that the new road signs are crimes against design.I was informed and delighted when I finished this article and now have a new perspective to look at the world around me.

Day one in Graphics Design

I have a basic to average knowledge of computers that I plan on expanding.

I hope to improve my knowledge within design and computer skills.

The relationship between computers and visual studies to my knowledge seem to go hand and hand in this time and age, but most visuals although do not require a computer to create however they are enhanced through various programs.

I have little to no experience in photoshop or illustrator.

I do have computers and I am unaware if it has photoshop and illustrator.

I use PC.

My major is in Game Design.

I hope to learn all I need to create my own video games.

Leonardo da vinci.

I do not have a specific musician that I prefer or favor.

I have a various set of talents and skills.

I am no more special than the next guy. I try to do what is right and further my knowledge so that I can live a decent life within society, but struggle as anyone else would. I want to go beyond a simple career in game design but I have a long way to go. I going to do my best and will most definitely need as much help as I can get. I have gone through a lot to get but this is only the beginning of my story.
