Homework #5 This article was really interesting to read. Dustin Stanton's interview basically is about how he started his career and his journey throughout the years. He started in high school and he already knew his decision to be an art major. He was wanted to different jobs and productions. He enjoys the work he does and he continues to add and create new and different ideas with his work in posters. 

Movie Title:  The Basement: Plot: A family, a mom, dad, and three kids moves into a new house in New Jersey. Everything seems fine until one day, when the parents weren't home, the three kids, Micah, Nathan, and Kaylee discover something. They discover a basement full with ocean amounts of applesauce. When they go down the basement, they swim around and explore and find a man named Apple with scuba gear and the kids find out that he lives down in the basement full of applesauce. However, the kids find out that Apple is actually a psychopath and a does not want anyone living in the basement with him. So every time a person discovers the basement, he kills the person by drowning him/her in the applesauce. Will the kids escape or will they die in the applesauce ocean?

"To the Point: Interview With Dave Perillo, aka Montygog" is an article written by Mary Winkler that explains how Dave Perillo, aka Monygog, does is work, his work history, his inspirations, etc. and he had some cool things to discuss. He always admired guys like Jim Henson, Charles Schulz, and even Walt Disney as innovators. I liked how he either do sketches or just go right on the computer because most of the time I usually go right onto the computer to start on the project. Finally, I really like his designs and that he said that he uses Photoshop and Illustrator to make his projects.    

                                                  Nike's Chief of Design Doodles All Day "Nike's Chief of Design Doodles All Day" is an article about Nike chief designer John Hoke and his life as a designer. I love this article, it was very interesting to see and hear some of his ideas. Even though he has dyslexia, he can still design and innovate great ideas without anyone stopping him. I love his office as well - such as the Porsche on his desk, the portrait behind him, the dance shoe on his shelf, and the other cool things in his office. This article for me shows the classic motto, which is "Anything is possible" and I do believe that anything is possible and also that anyone can do anything if they work hard.

Rethinking the way we sit down                                                    "Rethinking the way we sit down" is a TED Talks video about a man named Niel Diffrient who loves airplanes that changed his path into designing chairs. His love for airplanes wanted him to become aeronautical engineering, but he ended up changing his path to design chairs to help people sit down. Since he was really great at drawing, becoming a designer made sense. Design makes everybody's imagination come to life and the same can be said with drawing. These imaginations can help other people and the designer would feel appreciated by it.

How to ruin a Great Design This article simply talks about how to design a great design and it is by making a bad, unclear designs. The main example that this article shows are traffic signs in London. Some of the traffic signs deserve to be either replaced or taken away because of these sloppy designs. It is also unsafe for the public whether it be a driver or a pedestrian. These bad designs lead to punishment. UPS had to do this by replacing their wonderful "present" logo designed by Paul Rand in 1961. Overall, the only way to ruin a great design is to make the design bad, unclear, sloppy, etc. or else it will lead to unsafety and punishment.
