Description
Having a solid grasp on the history of design and the people who have contributed to the field is an integral part of the design program at OSU. This project will give you a chance to learn about designers that you are unaware of, or find out about the designers of something you may have seen before.
Format
Spend time at both the ARC library and FIN library at OSU. Wonder around the many shelves and cabinets which are full of books on design and designers. Randomly pull out books and begin exploring. The key here is to slow down, relax, look, and read. There is no right or wrong way to go about this exploration. Think about pieces of design that you have liked and find out who was responsible for them. Check anthologies or current magazines for work that catches your eye. If you really have no idea where to start, there is a list of designers to get you started on the back.
Over the course of your exploration begin to locate three designers who’s work or life intrigues you in some way. Focus on a more in depth study of them. From this short-list of three designers, you will write a more in depth investigation on one of the designers and more surface level responses on the other two. Include your responses a summary of their life, work, and contributions as well as your own thoughts about their life, work, and contributions. Length is at your discretion, but remember you are in college now. Please include a few (2-4) examples of their work within your post.
