Type 2 (due Feb 10)


Stefan Sagmeister's video was different from most of the other videos we have seen on designers. Instead of mostly talking about what he did as a designer, he spoke about how design affects him and how he reacts to the world around him - an interesting perspective. I also loved the part where he talked about the designs that made him happy.

The other videos I watched were TED presentations by Theo Jenson and another by JJ Abrams. The creatures that Theo Jenson creates are really awesome, but I thought he was a less-than-stellar presenter. JJ Abrams talked about what gives him inspiration for what he does. One of the things he spoke about that I have heard from other designers was the importance of mystery to gain and hold the viewer's attention.
