Project One :: {Point of View}

description
Create a web page comparing two texts about design. Through your reading, analysis, and point of view, you will be able to design each text in a way that: brings relevant points to light, compares contrasting or aligning ideas, brings supplemental information in context with the text, or pits objective legibility and order against subjective interpretation.

objectives
  • understand point of view and context in design
  • develop visuals and diagrams based on research
  • use diagrams and supplemental information to enrich content
  • use design to present information in as objective a manner as possible
  • explore subjectivity and objectivity within design
  • explore CSS, Javascript and HTML as design tools

in class kickoff
Break up into four groups and spend 1.5 hours researching and creating a 5 minute presentation of the four following topics online:
  • Modernism – Group 1
  • Postmodernism – Group 2
  • Massimo Vignelli – Group 3
  • Katherine McCoy – Group 4
