ted talk respond HW4

In the video designers-think big! ted explained that designers need to stop thinking about small objects and start thinking about how to make something that can change the world we live in. he gave a few examples, one being a man who designed a way to transport people from train to sea. i thought that what he was explaining was true, and that thinking big could benefit designers by helping them make a bigger impact on the world and the way we live. i also thought that he provided great examples and made his point clearly when speaking.

While reading the interview with graphic illustrator  montygog, i thought that not only were his works great, but i thought he had great advice and inspiration for people to become better at digital art. When reading the interview, he said he used illustrator and photoshop to make illustrations and i think he could have given more explanation on how he used both programs to make his pieces. I thought that his advice "get more creative", was helpful since being creative is what is important in illustrating and graphic design in general.

After watching the video "re-thinking the way we sit down"  i found it very interesting how furniture designer Neils Diffrient , found inspiration from planes and engineering. It showed that people can get inspiration from anywhere when creating anything. I also liked how he designed his chairs for different body types such as short, tall, long legs, back problems, etc as well as basing the chair off of pilot seats in planes.
