Journal 03 (J03): Peer Dialogue 01
For Journal 03 (J03) you will need to use the list of student blogs posted in the sidebar.
Over There: ----->
Go and look at your peers' blogs. At the minimum, you should be looking at the blogs of the students in your playing card face-value group. So... if you are a "Jack", at least check the blogs of the other "Jacks". Feel free to look at and respond to as many peer blogs as you like though. You may find like-minds or thinking that challenges your own outside your "face-value" group.
Create a blog post that respondes to your peers' posts. You should strive to review, reflect, respond, and perhaps even critique what you read. Do you like what you read? Does anything they posted make you think a little differently? Are you surprised by anything? Did someone have a reflection on course content that you had not thought about yet?
These are the types of observations and statements you should be striving to document. You are encouraged to comment on your peers blogs.
You are required to link to your peers' blogs. So if you are going to state something like, "I really enjoyed what so-and-so said on their blog about interior design being the coolest of the design majors..." you should provide a link to the post where they said whatever you enjoyed."
The point of this exercise is to begin to create a "dialogue" between the blogs. You should get in the habit of checking in with the other blogs and then thinking about how they affect or effect your understanding of both Design and the world in general.

Reading Reflection 01 (RR01)
DUE: Beginning of class - Monday, April 18, 2011
There will be a total of four (4) Reading Reflection assignments. They will all follow the same format. You are to create a post on your blog that reflects on the content presented in the required readings. The required readings are marked on the course Calendar during the suggested week that you should complete the reading. You should strive to show that you have given critical thought to and personal reflection on the topics and ideas presented by the author of these readings.
These do not need to be excessively long writings, but they should be thoughtful. What did you find interesting? What new ideas did the content make pop into your head? Are there interesting threads of inquiry or insight you are noticing? These are the types of questions you should be thinking about as you complete these Reading Reflections.
RR01 should cover the content from Haskett Ch. 1-6.

Post your 10 favorite patterns to your blog with a brief descriptions of each. Include in your description when and where you found the pattern and what drew you to this particular specimen.
Assignment 02 (A02): Designer Investigation
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.
