Homework # 1


How to Ruin a Great Design was an article that examined designs that were bad or elegant designs that were redone in a tasteless manner. A lot of early designs were developed over years and were thought about and cared about when developed. Then once redesigned they took away from their former or original character which had meaning and took a cookie cutter approach. One might conclude with the statement that if it's not broke don't fix it.

8. One summer I decided to go on tour traveling to a bunch of music festivals.  I went to Jam on the Creek, Jam on the River, Electric Zoo, Electric Forest, and Camp Bisco.  This was one of the best summers in my life.  I met so many awesome people.  I camped out, road tripped, and got to experience all types of live music.
