I loved the letter form picture you took because you took a large variety of them which told me that you had a great sense of imagination and creativity coming into this assignment. The only critique I would have about your blog would be about the Found Faces assignment. A couple of your pics were great examples of the assignment, but maybe one of the pics could have used a bit more creativity; but overall you have a very excellent blog.

There are many things to compliment in your blog which I really enjoy. I really like the the pictures you chose for the Assignment 4. You really used you creativity to choose some of these pics. You also seemed to use very good camera angles in most of your picture which allow the people that see them to get an good observation of the picture.

CR02
This class period is very interesting and as we watched William McDonough on
.
I want to focus this post on my three favorite concepts from Cradle to Cradle : that we can create a world of abundance, that waste equals food, and that products of service can be a useful way to make goods which are more eco-conscious.
First of all, a world of abundance refers to a planet filled with products that celebrate culture, improve the economy, and have ecological benefits. How wonderful would it be if environmentalists and industrialists could both encourage vehicle production, because old cars could be 100% recycled, and new “nutri-vehicles” would not only not pollute, but would also purify the air and provide drinking water.
As someone who loves nature and wants to protect it, I really like the idea that I don’t necessarily need to make sacrifices such as driving less, buying less, and not having children. We need to foster a society where all professionals have the same aspirations so that skills can come together to create a world of economic prosperity while safeguarding our culture and resources for future generations.

A03 - Hunting Down Design
Link to team members blog:
This assignment was very adventurous and exciting as me and my partner Dan Comai explored the OSU Campus, also with Zack S and Bridget M. First we headed off to the Wexner Center to take a picture in front of the building that was designed by Peter Eiseman. Something that I found very interesting is that it is said that the building was built with no 90 degree angles. This is our photo from clue 3.
Our next stop was to find clue 4 but first we had to do some google research to find which building on OSU campus that the famous architect by the name of Philip Johnson designed. The building that we found was the Science and Engineering Library. The Architectural detail that I found interesting was the arch of the entrance. This is our photo below.
Our next stop was to find clues 1 and 2 in that particular order. We headed to the Knowlton School of Architecture to discover some chairs. First off was the Barcelona chair. The Barcelona chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe. Something I found interesting about the chair is that it was built over 50 years ago and its design has lasted this long.
The chair that I sat in for clue 2 was only a couple feet away from the Barcelona chair. The chair was built like a sunken in triangle with very comfortable cushioning. The magazine I was reading was Modernism Magazine. This photo is below.
Our final destination was clue 5 the building that was designed by local architects Acock & Associates was Thompson Library. Something I found interesting about the building is that The design team for the original building was selected in 1910 through an architectural competition. The winners of the competition, Allen and Collins of Boston, were charged with bringing the library to life. Later that year, Allen and Collins drew up a formal proposal, which they presented to OSU's Board of Trustees for approval.

Reading Reflection 01
I am really enjoying this book and through theses six chapters we are given the quote A new visual identity can also be a signal of a major change of intent in corporate strategy. In the year 2000, British Petroleum (BP) unveiled a new identity programme that featured a dramatic image of a stylized sun-symbol in the long-standing corporate colour scheme of yellow and green, again by Landor. Accompanying advertising signalled a move to a wider pattern of activities, under the slogan Beyond Petroleum. This brought down on BP the wrath of environmentalists, who pointed out that the corporation’s business remained overwhelmingly petroleum based. Whether the new image will be sustainable depends in great measure on the behaviour of BP in the future and the extent to which it can be judged against its claims for itself.
