Respond to the brief: how might you embed a specific futures method into your design practice I think it is hard to really pick just one future’s method that I learned. I feel like all the methods go hand-in-hand so when I focus on one method, I inadvertently end up…

Over the summer I worked under Sarah Crawford, the Director of Exhibits at the Carnegie Natural History Museum, to help develop a new wayfinding system. — Phase 1: signage type assessment I started by walking the building and taking pictures of all the different signs. I then separated the signs into 11 categories and cataloged the rough quantity. I put all my information into a presentation and then walked the building one more time. This time I marked on floor plans…

Using the work you’ve done on your poster and booklet, create a short video with your design hero as the subject. This video should be consistent with your poster and booklet but will use motion, time and sound. You will write a script and storyboard your idea before executing it. You will gather and curate your subject’s voice (through interviews, lectures and existing videos/films) which will act as the “spine” of your video. You will also use typography, images, information graphics, color, music and other sound effects to give your piece depth, excitement and resonance.

Design a booklet for someone who knows nothing about your design hero. You will gather, curate and craft text, images, typography and several other elements to tell the best story of your hero and their work. How do you make a publication that both delights and resonates with your audience, while also informing and educating them? — Layout Process 02/22 I created 5 different booklet rough sketches to help me gather my ideas. I want to incorporate the textures I made with tracing paper for my poster. Because David Carson really uses text as image and texture across all of his works, I think that can be the “theme” that…

Design an informational poster for someone who knows nothing about your design hero. You will gather, curate and craft text, images and typography that best tell the story of your hero and their work. How do you make a poster that both delights and resonates with your audience, while also informing and educating them? — Research 01/25: Design Hero sheets The two designers I am thinking about doing are David Carson and Gary Graham. David Carson is one of my all time favorite graphic designers. His work is so inspirational and I love how he breaks the “design rules.” Gary Graham is one of my favorite fashion designers. His garments…
