| In this drawing I am in the corner. Each of the letters in my name portray a different aspect about design that I believe are important for me as a designer to keep in mind. |
Second, the "E" has a pen that is drawing. I have always found it easy to use a pen and paper to express my ideas and I believe this is important for me as a designer as well. The first steps in designing something can take place with a pen and paper. Brainstorming, sketching, drawing blueprints, and note-taking all are necessary steps in designing that require a pen and paper.
The third letter, another "E", is built half-way with bricks. As a designer, I think it is important for me to know about all of the simple things that are used to build in the world that are very useful, like bricks.
Fourth, the letter "R" represents reading. For me, reading is essential for anything, including design. Books, websites, and magazines contain loads of information that can prove very useful to a designer.
Fifth, the "A" represents community and society in general. Most things that are designed are built for the benefit of the people. Keeping in mind the consumers of the potential "product" you are designing, I think, is very important for a designer. Many things are designed to essentially make life "easier", and to determine how to do this reflecting on the problems of everyday appliances can help designers reach this goal.
All of these aspects outline my goals for this class:
1) incorporate nature in my designs or things that can help the earth.
2) become better at drawing/sketching the concepts I want to design.
3) eventually have ideas on how to improve the way people design things and the basic building blocks of design
4) gain knowledge of designing (how it works, what I need to learn)
5) help society and gather ideas on how to improve community/society
I like how you shared different aspects of design that you're interested in.
