Three Articles that I chose...
Article of the Week 8: The Apple logo
http://charlie6330.blogspot.com/
When I read this article I was really fascinated by the information because I am a huge fan of Apple and have asked myself countless of times what the "Apple" meant and what where its origins. This article explained it to me very well and I have learned a lot about its beginning. The first thing I learned was that the first Apple logo was called "Rainbow Apple" since it had colorful stripes within it. It said that the designer of this logo was Rob Janoff who wanted to honor the discoveries of light and implement them into his logo. A major influence on the Apple logo was weirdly enough: Isaac Newton. This is because he discovered a lot about the principles of gravity and when Rob Janoff designed the Apple logo he thought of the apple falling down from the tree from the story of Adam in Eve in the Bible.
Article of the Week 7: The Design Cycle
http://johnsthoughtstoday.blogspot.com
This article about the design cycle was very interesting because it provided both present and historical information on the origins and use of the design cycle. It starts off by talking about how scientists came to the idea that they first must research and conduct information before actually going on with the experiment. In many ways the design cycle and the idea of thought before action brought the use of hypothesis. The design cycle is divided into four different sections consisting of: plan, investigate, evaluate, and create. As you can see the last thing you must do is create since the three steps before them are the most important. If you skip or miss one step then your overall design will come out bad.
Article of the Week: Postmodernism
http://johnsthoughtstoday.blogspot.com
I chose this article since I wanted to find out a little bit more about postmodernism, and to say the truth this did provide me with great information. Postmodernism mean "After the modernist movement", and the term "modern" can be referred to as something of the present such as movies and literature. I thought this was a very interesting topic because for one of my previous projects I chose "Bauhaus" which is modernist, so it was very interesting to learn a little more about what came after the modern movement. Postmodernism was greatly influenced by modernism and takes a lot of key elements. However postmodernism is very complex and does not follow most of the rules for modernism. It tends to refer to cultural, intellectual, and artistic principles of the modern world. It is a way of expressing one self. Postmodernism tends to get quite crazy with all of the different colors and contrasts but that's what makes it so unique and so different from previous movements such as modernism.
