Homework #5

The thing that really struck me while reading this article was actually towards the beginning when he was talking about his history. He said he just fell into this career, and its very rare to see that. Another thing I liked was when they were talking about how they made the movie poster for Magnolia. They said that there were a few designs that were being tossed around but they ultimately settled on the close up of a magnolia flower with the cast photo-shopped onto the petals. I think that is a really strong poster simply because it shows a little bit about the movie without reading that much into it.

Homework #2

This video was really interesting to watch because he talked about how he designed the chair to fit the human body. He designed it to be able to be a comfortable chair for anyone regardless of their height or weight. The chair redistributes your weight so the chair is even and you don’t feel like you are sliding too much in one direction. It also has a retractable headrest that can be fit to wherever your head lies which I think makes it stand out from other chairs. Most chairs the headrest is adjustable where it goes up and down depending on your height but this one also moves forward or back for more comfort. I found it interesting that the designer actually started out wanting to be a jet pilot and went in an entirely different direction based on his ability to draw. He just made a snap decision to change his direction and it actually worked out really well for him.
