WPA poster

Here is a WPA poster that i used for inspiration to design my own poster.


This is a poster that I took interest in and used as inspiration. However, it is not a WPA poster but I really enjoy it anyway.


The main properties that i pulled from these posters was the simplicity and the cleanliness. I incorporated a gradient from the movie flyer and text from the Obama poster. I also tryed to incorporate wit to tie in with a cause.

Design Manifesto

I believe that good design should incorporate strong form and texture.

My response to "Computing in Architectural Design" by Yehuda Kalay.

Having read this article, I now have a better understanding about the role of computers in the design world. Computers have made a significant impact ever since they were created. For most people, they are a part of their everyday lives. You can say the same about the impact of computer technology for design. CAD is said to be a vital tool for design. However, drafting by hand is still an acceptable form of visual communication. Essentially, I feel that a designer should be knowledgeable in both methods. Design technology has evolved significantly over the last 50 or so and I imagine that it will continue to advance over the coming generations.
