Week 8 Recap

This week the Art Center Open Discussion club met at the design fair put together by OTISMFAGD 2017 class. More info here.

The conversation began by students talking about who was their favorite speaker at the fair. A few expressed their like for the Rodina presentation. They thought her talk was engaging and fun. Another student disagreed with them. While the talk was very entertaining, was the Rodina’s presentation empty? In the lecture, she went through the steps that make up performance design, while giving examples of her own practice. Is the Rodina’s practice selfish? Should a graphic designer put themselves in the forefront like that? The conversation then shifted to Mike Jakab’s presentation. We all want you to know that Mike Jakab works at Google.

Stephanie Specht showed her ‘Half Hart’ project made by the feeling of not belonging. A few students came up with an idea for a sweater project of their own. ‘Brand Sluts’ because we (millennials) are not loyal to brands. Another student really enjoyed the Atlant presentation. While the speakers were a little shy, going in depth into two projects felt more natural than just showing a slideshow of all your work and/or pitch a workshop to improve the donut buying experience. Two students talked about Actual Source’s robot voice intro being awkward. Specially because they used their own voice a few minutes later. Should they have used a computer voice for their entire presentation to be cohesive? Does it matter? Who knows. The one thing I can tell you is that every member of Open Discussion did not know Actual Source did spatial work. The idea of building a building is wild! We were all impressed and want to hear more about that.

A student mentioned the lectures being really short, and the whole thing feeling like speed dating. Another student was mad at a piece of text in the back of the program. Why can’t Art Center have programs sponsored by other cultural institutions? Why can’t Art Center have its own design fair organized by the graduating class? Why is Art Center a dialysis center?

We were definitely primed to be book designers at Otis. For our graduation thesis show called "Grand Finale," we compiled our thesis projects together into one book...each of us designed a custom letter from the words "Grand Finale" and we used all of our names on the front cover. I designed the "F." We employed the same technique for posters and other ephemera for the show.
