Heskett 4-6

Personally, chapter 4 is the most interesting content thus far. I find that I learn through a little bit of each medium. But I really enjoy hands on learning above all. Having the opportunity to handle tangible objects while being able to examine them visually and use any other senses. Fashion is a huge aspect where multiple aesthetics are utilized and that also dictates the trends and cars for that instance, how you feel the seats, steering wheel, and curvature of the body. Also computers and furniture, just about anything in the market. And as chapter 4 concludes, making quality and innovative products that attract the population will lead to success, sometimes without much marketing.

Being a communications major, I am very familiar with the workings of typeface. I agree that typeface is just as important as the objects themselves. Many would look past objects if not for the signage around them. Digital workings have evolved the typeface market, giving designers unlimited options. Signs and text are equally important for public areas because without them the population would be lost.

It is interesting to compare different cultures and how they use their environments and design capabilities. This is reflected through homes, infrastructure, and marketplaces. Equally as interesting is the number of people who design themselves compared to those who hire others for insight and how they wish to utilize a space. When its all said and done, we all use aspects of eachothers' designs and ideas but execute them in a variety of ways.
