Homework #3
In this article, the author interviews an illustrator/designer about his prices of artwork. The artist goes on to say that the prices are inspired by many people such as Walt Disney, Mary Blair and Andy Warhol. His designs are inspired by the pop art style and uses a "cartoony look". I enjoyed his pieces and really like the pop art style, no I am inspired to create on of my own.

The design of useful objects
The world of design is constantly changing the way we live by redesigning. Redesigning is the only way to create contemporary design. Many factors change the way we design things. We have to think of what's available to us. Design is also influenced by current events. For example, due to peta activists, it wouldn't be smart to design a chair with zebra skin for everyday use in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey. Design is constant and is always changing with tastes of consumers always changing. Design is best when designed for a specific audience that makes sense and is practical and within reach for that audience. So if you designed a chair for the middle class family and expected to get $1000 a piece, you may want to reconsider the materials made to use it and make it cheaper.

HW: How to ruin a good design
In the article, how to ruin a good design, the author describes how good designs have ruined. In London, once well designed signs were ruined by a new design that mad them hard to read, which shouldn't happen with road signs. Another ruined design were chairs that McDonalds commissioned that mocked the original design, making the original look bad. The article goes on to how companies have ruined their own recognizable logos, to lackluster designs. In my opinion, changes to recognizable designs should only be made to make it better, not to ruin them.
