Film Response

This documentary, by far, was one of the most interesting and enlightening

I have seen to this day. I have never spent so much time studying what makes

"good" design, and at first I was skeptical that someone could put that 

label on a product. But after seeing "Objectified" my opinion completely changed. 

One interesting point that has really stuck with me is the fact that our world is constantly

changing and progressing. It seems that as soon as the first iPod came out and 

everyone finally owned one, there was a smaller, cooler, newer model already

out on the market. Therefore, design has to be made to last. It has to 

stand the test of time. And that is probably the one most important point I took away

from this film. The fact that a good design will last forever. Good design makes people happy, 

it is not only used for its function, but to "show off" as well.  Good design is not

a term to be thrown around lightly, but really considered when creating a product 

or on the other end of the spectrum, buying one.

Five Faves

For this I took one of my favorite blind contour drawings and cleaned it

up by connecting the lines and erasing the extra.

This started as an experiment between negative and positive space.

I really enjoyed the contrast between what is in the shades, 

and what is out. I am not happy with the quality however.

This started as a quick gesture. I went back and defined the lines to 

make it cleaner. I really liked how the proportions turned out.

This started as a blind contour (one of my favorite ways to draw)

and I went back and added toning and shading to give it more interest.

After erasing the shape of the sunglasses away from the graphite

background, I added contour lines. I like how clean it turned out.
