This was a fun article to read. I can totally relate to John Hoke's way of processing and listening to people by way of doodling. I am not sure why this makes me pay attention more, rather than just keeping my eyes on people. I think that honing in on something makes me more alert. I appreciate that Hoke did not allow his disability of dyslexia to set him back and not succeed at anything. He didn't see it as a burden, but a gift. Most people would look down on what they had, rather than flipping the script and finding another way to do something you probably had no idea you could do or be good at. Doodling is his way of communicating. I love that! His perspective was super positive.  He took what he loved to do and made a career out of it. Always thinking about the next best thing. I think that a lot of people's best inventions tend to stem from either what they love to do or how they can make something better. He even went as far as reaching out to Nike, which I think was

I can honestly say, I really appreciated Niels Diffrient’s romance for the designs he thought of, as well as his  simplicities to carry out these designs. At first, I was trying to figure out where he was going with the lecture. I kept looking back up at the title making sure I had clicked on the right video, but I was on the right one. He was just taking awhile to get to how his romance went from airplanes to chairs. He like many tend to lose their drive, but he still took the same motivation, but just directed it towards something different. His simplicity and “holistic experience” is what helped shape, in what I think, a great office chairs without all the bells and whistles. Too many designs sometimes comes with pages of manuals. I liked the fact and found it useful that this chair didn’t need rocket science to operate, and on top of that, the design was beneficial to varying heights, some weights and it was healthy for the body. I believe that  Mr. Diffrient found a way to take hi

I thought that the article was very interesting. I do not think I have ever looked at or considered the designs of signs in a way that I will probably look at them now. I have always looked at the positions of signs, for example while parking as poorly designed, rather than the design of the sign in general. The writer of the article made some interesting points that I had to dig into in a deeper way. I was unaware of what the original logos of UPS and befell Cintroen looked like. By researching a little more past this article, that helped me to have a better understanding of  the writer's point of view. After looking up the logos of the two companies, I can totally agree with the writer. It seems as though when other companies are engaging in a design change( which I do not think is a bad idea, depending on the outcome of the design), by the looks of the logo, it looks like someone has taken the lazy route and placed a sticker where there use to be an innovative masterpiece.

What is your previous computer experience? I have used computers through most of my academic career as well as vocation, mainly using Microsoft word. What do you hope to get out of this class? I honestly hope to learn more about computer graphics, in order to link this knowledge with Photography. I also would love to take my knowledge and teach youth in inner cities as an outlet for them. What is your experience with Photoshop and Illustrator? I do not have any experience in either one. This is one thing I am hoping to get at least the basics down.  Do you have a computer at home? If so dose it have Photoshop and Illustrator? Yes and no I do not have either on my computer Do you use a  Mac  or PC? I use Mac What do you hope to do with your major? I want to work for myself as well as collaborate with inner city youth programs to give youth exposure on a subject that is not typically provided in school. Who is your favorite artist? I do not have a favorite artist. I jus
