Homework 1

Sometimes change is not always for the better. Even the smallest changes to something can ruin something simple. The article used traffic signs, business logos, and car grill designs as examples of this. One that I have come across in my life is my favorite soccer team, Chelsea Football Club, changed their logo on their 100 year anniversary of the club. The original design was a simple circle with the 3 letters CFC inside as well as the outline of a lion, which is the club's mascot. The club changed their logo to a more detailed, lion as well as some additional things inside the logo as well as spelling out Chelsea Football Club, making the badge have too much detail in a small area. Similar to the UPS logo design. Below are pictures of the each Chelsea badge:

Homework #2

Design is more than just logos and decals, design can be anything you want it to be. It can be the things you have in your wallet, a well drawn picture, or a creative invention. There are few requirements or limitations to what you can use to make a design as long as it is useful or captivating. The one that really grabbed my attention from the presentation was the gas mask for an infant. While most would scoff at the idea of even having to use this invention, it is practical, efficient, and very well designed. Allowing the infant to still be held and comforted by their parent. As Paola said at the end of the presentation, there are some common grounds between science and design. Where design should be approached as instruction or guidance, rather than a prescription of form. Allowing even more creativity and innovation.
