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.
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...
