Chewie's Peer Dialogue 01

When I was reading Scott Sherp's post about the different patterns he encountered, I was like some of these pictures would be cool to stare at if a person was tripped out on something. For example the black and white optical illusion picture, tell me you wouldn't get lost in there in a certain psychedelic was placed promptly into your system. Same goes for the DJ lights picture....that sh*t is hot like homeless guy breath.


On Sydni's design blog, she had a post about Jonathan Ive, the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple, reporting directly to the CEO, that I found interesting to read for the fact that I love apple products, more specifically the iPod Touch.


Lastly I read Miriah's post Reading Reflection 01. This one took me forever to read so it was the last one I read. Miriah says that after she read the first six chapters of John Heskett's Design, I have learned a lot about many of the ideas and principles behind the different types of design. Now being that I thought the post was interesting, it was still long as hell so I'm just going to sum it up the best I can. According to Miriah's description, Chapter one covers the basic stuff, for example - the question "What Is Design?". Chapter two talks about how design has changed over the years to become the concept it is today. Chapter three then moved into describing the differences between the words function, utility, and significance in relation to design, with the words "utility" and "significance" being broken down from "function." Chapter four was mainly about product/industrial design and covered a range of different products and companies with some of their designs. Now from what Miriah said about the chapter, chapter five visual communication design would probably  be my favorite, being that I'm a visual communication design major. The last chapter covered the last major sub-divion of design, interior space. Miriah said that she read that this sub-divion, can be broken down even farther into the decorative layout design of spaces as well as those who are interested in the original creation of spacial concepts and layouts.
