Homework #2

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 his “loose ideas” and still have that same “piece of romance,” which helped to create a design so simple, yet holistic.

HMWK #3

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
