Homework to complete prior to your arrival


So that we can make the best use of our short time together, please collect and complete the following before your arrival at IUB:
  • Collect course materials.
  • Write a one-page summary of the Tim Brown video From Design to Design Thinking. Identify the central argument he presents, the key topics introduced, and cite one of the examples he gave that made the greatest impression on you 
  • Take “critical” notes, by hand or electronically, from Product Design on “The Industrial Revolution” to “Streamlining” (pp. 20 – 29) and “Case Study: Apple’s visual language” (pp. 162 – 163). Note each design movement discussed, its general time period and location, and the key practitioner(s) associated with it. Identify the forces – historical, social, and technological, associated with each and, ideally, incorporate an image of a representative and iconic piece from each movement as well. 
  • Bring everyday items that you like and use (e.g. shoes, electronics, backpacks, jackets, sport equipment). 
  • Bring something designed of particular meaning to you to analyze in mini-project 3.
