WHAT CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING?
Information Designs of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
In order to see the vast amounts of complex information more quickly, it is important to create a clear visualization of data. Throughout this project, I was able to learn about quantitive data and qualitative data. It was also necessary to enhance the presenation of the information in a meaningful way.

Accordion Book Design - Paul Rand In this project, it was necessary to research and know enough about one of the graphic designers that is chosen. The grid systems and the relationships between the texts, images, and elements were the most important part of this project. Throughout the project, I learned a lot about using Adobe Indesign and organizing the typography. Since it was an accordion book, the high craft skill was needed. Paul Rand was born in New York in 1914. He is a famous American graphic and logo designer in 20th century. Paul Rand’s name was ‘Peretz Rosenbaum,’ but he shortened his given name to ‘Paul’ and ‘Rand’ was from his uncle. Paul’s works were based on European Modernism, and those works began to earn attention in the 1950s. I was interested in his simple and modern logos. Therefore, I decided to make an accordion book about Paul Rand.

and then began teaching at Pratt Institute in 1946. Finally, he became a professor of Graphic Design at Yale University in graduate program. After about 30 years of teaching, Paul Rand died of cancer in 1996. Paul Rand’s works were inspired by Swiss painter, Paul Klee, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a German-American architect, who focused on extreme clarity and simplicity. Paul Rand’s works were also influenced by 20th century Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School of Design, also inspired Paul Rand’s designs. Many designers and painters who inspired Paul Rand emphasized simplicity, and Paul designed many simple

liness, readability, and objectivity. American Broadcasting Company (ABC), IBM Corporation, Westinghouse Electric Corpo-ration (Westinghouse), and United Parcel Service (UPS) logos are still keeping their original shapes and styles. This demonstrates Paul’s innovation and creativity in logo design. The logos are simple and clear, but they have deeper meanings. They are clear, but strong. The book, ‘Paul Rand: Designer’s Art,’ states, “It is in symbolic, visual terms that the designer ultimately realizes his perceptions and experiences; and it is in a world of symbols that man lives. The symbols thus are the common language between artist and spectator.” With his designs, people can communicate with the companies because not only is the logo an identity of the company itself, but also it protrays the message of the company. The first picture of the examples is the cover of Direction Magazine
in 1940. It looks like crossed barbed wire, but there is a ‘Merry Christmas’ message on the top-left. It implies that Christmas is not just our celebration. Christmas is the day when baby Jesus Christ was born and will die on the cross. The cover looks simple but contains a serious and powerful message. Paul Rand’s Westinghouse, UPS, and ABC logos are made with simple lines and geometric shapes. Taking unnecessary lines and shapes from the image helps the logos be more memorable. He also uses colors effectively and appropriately. Lastly, Paul Rand designed IBM posters. This Eye-Bee-M poster, made in 1981, is a creative and strong piece of his work. His humorous creativity is shown
well in the design. Paul’s design for IBM is published in logos, packaging, annual reports, manuals and guides, posters, and so on. Paul Rand had a strong philosophy with his design. Some people said that Paul overemphasized modernism and he was stubborn, however, that stubborn streak helped make Paul Rand a great designer in 20th century.

nstead of augmenting reality, we should make technology more aware. In the future, you will design the unseen. You will design with sounds, textures, vibrations, smells, and temperature, along with the media you already know so well—text, color, and light. You will design environments and interactions that are immersive. You will once again create things that do more than match eyeballs with ads. I promise. We’ve already begun stumbling in this direction. In fact, today we have the technology needed to cohere this vision— technology that enhances device awareness by sensing, analyzing, and

predicting—yet our old ways of seeing and doing remain a barrier to using it at its full potential. Take augmented reality. AR is essentially a data-enhanced view of the world around us made visible through applications like Layar, a mobile browser that uses your phone’s compass, GPS, and accelerometer to project data relevant to your location over your camera’s view. If you’ve never used an AR application, imagine what walking a city block might look like to a cyborg. The cyborg is you; the view, yours also, as long as you’re willing to reduce it to a palm-size rectangle. Though an initial AR experience
can be thrilling, it quickly becomes clear, especially to visual thinkers, that AR is a misapplication of the technology currently at our disposal. AR is disappointing precisely because it is so visual. Kevin Slavin, in a recent presentation he called “Reality Is Plenty, Thanks,” pointed out that limiting our field of view—not to mention flooding our newly downsized vista with visualdata displays—can actually be dangerous. Citing an automotive study that found that AR displays placed drivers in greater danger than those who did not use them, Slavin homed in on the counter intuitive relationship between infor-
mation and our apprehension of reality: More can sometimes be less. By projecting a synthetic data stream—the kind we’re used to receiving at our desks— over our real-time view of the world, we create a quasi- reality and disable ourselves in the process. We cut ourselves off from the real world and its own expansive data stream—the kind we’re accustomed to sensing through sound, touch, and our peripheral vision. AR, though it may trick the eye into believing otherwise, is one-dimensional. It will fail for the same reason its predecessor, virtual reality, failed: The mind can only suspend so much disbelief, especially when it’s trying to be productive. I’m with Slavin. We already know that information is everywhere; seeing it on-screen only creates more work for us. But if a machine can collect information and deliver it to our eyes, it should also be able to save us the trouble of analyzing and interpreting that data. “Awareness technology” should be doing much more for us than making advertising more ubiquitous. It should be helping us to do more work, more efficiently and more effectively. Rather than
lord stuff of science fiction). Though significant, the practical developments in this field are, for the most part, unseen and unnoticed. Radio-frequency identification, or RFID, is just one example of an open and broadly adaptable awareness tool already in use for a wide variety of purposes. Because they don’t need to be seen to be read, RFIDs can be miniaturized and embedded in just about anything in order to build networks of information among objects. Right now, cars, roads, tollbooths, tickets, library books, passports, product packaging, machine parts, casino chips, and cattle are being enhanced by RFIDs for such a diversity of purposes that only your imagination could impose a limit. But what’s the benefit of building an internet of things? Consider this scenario: Each wastebasket in your city is fit with a sensor that measures its capacity and sends data back to a central repository. As the database grows, algorithms are run to analyze capacity data, identify patterns, and predict when and where wastebaskets will be full. New pickup routes can now be plotted on the fly, likely saving a lot of wasted time and fuel. I recently watched a garbage truck go through the
Should technology determine what it means to be a designer, or should the progress of technology be designed? trying to enhance how we see reality, we should instead consider augmenting reality for machines. A more aware machine is far more valuable to us than a more crowded visual field. Rapid progress is being made in developing awareness technology right now (and not the dystopian robot-over-
motions of emptying several already empty Dumpsters as I walked to work. A networked system would have prevented that. They may not sound glamorous, but smart sanitation systems are the type of practical, efficient, energy-saving application of awareness technology that will be in extraordinary
demand over the next decade. If you can envision and implement a scenario like this one, you’ll also be granted latitude to dream up applications that are far more creative and inspiring to you. Although what could be more inspiring than designing a city that works? Design students are already experimenting in this field. Projects like SoundAffects, created by undergraduates at Parsons the New School for Design, explore how everyday data gathered in cities— weather, traffic patterns, and the like—can be translated into sound and mined for new understanding. Outside of the academy, innovative firms such as San Francisco’s Stamen, New York’s Rockwell Group, and the London-based studios Berg and Dentsu are producing work as well as investing in research projects that look like the scenario I sketched which was based on MIT’s SENSEable City Lab—work that Dentsu artfully describes as “making future magic.” These designers strategically bolster their approach with new sensor, sound, and programming technologies. Design has always been about possibilities, not hardand-fast definitions. That’s important to remember as technology pushes the boundaries of professional identities and challenges the distinctions among designer, engineer, and technologist. But technology is more than just a tool; it’s an expression of intent. It is how we shape the world around us and conform it to a vision of how we want to live. In considering our futures, we must question how technology will define who we are and what we do. Should technology determine what it means to be a designer, or should the progress of technology be designed? I believe that we’ll find the answers to these questions, but not without participating today in the project of imagining the world we will inhabit tomorrow.

TRADITIONAL COSTUMES OF THE WORLD 25 Symbols Design The project was about creating 25 different symbols by using one grid that I generated. The concept of my symbols was ‘Traditional Costumes of the World.’ My home country is Republic of Korea, and I was interested in the traditional costumes. Variety of colors, shapes, and figures of the costumes all around the world was diverse, dynamic, and beautiful. 041

Book Design— “The Giving Tree” Designing a book by using only the illustrations that are sketched, generated in Illustrator, and organized. I designed a children’s book for those who are learning English. There is a dictionary of this book at the end, so that the person who reads the book can learn about the words.

Technical Illustrations The goal of this project was to learn the basic skills to create an illustration in the computer. Gradient Mesh was the main tool for this project. Three different views of the electric object was needed to create three illustrations. Throughout this project, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve achieved to create a whole object by using Adobe Illustrator. In order to generate the illustration as a real image, focusing on the details were the key.
