Homework 2(Design of useful things)

This was a pretty interesting video. Paola Antonelli made great points about how designs of every day useful things was very important. People don't really associate everyday useful items with art, but having a more creative and artistic out look on the designs of everyday things can make the functionality of the piece more interesting and better. The more creative you are while creating something the better outcome/finished project you will have made. Being creative with designs pushes the limits of functionality, which is only steps forward towards a overall better product.

Homework 1

"How to ruin a great design" was an interesting article that was written by someone who had gripes about certain designs that they believe were done poorly. The writer brings up a lot of great points about her problems with the designs some companies use now. However I believe she was overly dramatic about some of her problems. For example her complaint about the "D" in the "Diverted Cyclist" sign is a little much. Her complaint about it being distracting is exaggerated.
