What historic styles and designers interest you and why?
Answer:
Historic styles that interest me the are Impressionism, Futurism, and Minimalism. I love Impressionism for its ability to convey beauty without painting too tightly. It allows a sense of freedom. I am also strongly influenced by Futurism and Minimalism because I enjoy painting abstract paintings that incorporate a sense of movement and speed while keeping the painting clean and simple.
One of my favorite designers is Massimo Vignelli. I am inspired by this man's ability to design everything: product design, packaging design, graphic design, furniture design, architecture. I am also aligned with his concept of design: creating beauty through the use of a minimal color palette and keeping only the essentials or necessities in a design.
Another designer that I admire is Paula Scher. I love her bold usage of typography. Her posters always demand attention. I also love her typographic maps. Those maps consists of beautiful color combinations paired with simple and clean typefaces.
Through the course of the class, I hope to enlarge my knowledge on design styles and history. I want increase my design 'vocabulary'.
