CR02

Last week, we learned about the history behind design, like which historic events made design it is today. There were pictures on the slides to show you the first toilet, steam engine, etc -- to show how much innovation and technology progression we went through. Everything lead up to Modernism, from changing aesthetics, new patterns such as curvilinear and rectilinear, simplification and abstraction, to perspective and rationale. It helps after you read Haskett, it's easier to look back on what we learned earlier because the book gives it a more in depth thinking and understanding. When I think of design now, there's so many more factors and influences it does to the society that it makes me want to become a designer even more because I want to influence the world.
