Hyrom-S-R01

I’m really grateful for this context because I found numerous factors that I shall benefit from when it comes to design. It’s like these factors have always been here, I just couldn’t understand them fully nor paid much attention to them, yet I do them. Wow, how important are these factors such as: line direction, color, organization, boldface, numerology, etc. This list can continue for a long period due to the fact that it’s the small things that we as designers don’t pay much attention to that help us reach our goals when it comes to design. Without these fundamentals we wouldn’t be able to design a darn thing. I’m sitting here thinking, how important is organization? Organization is important in numerous parts of life, but in this content, I’m going to be emphasizing organization when it comes to design. First off, organization in my definition is the convenient placing of ordered elements into correct composition to bring about a complete presentation. In order to achieve this act of ordering, different approaches can be brought about for an excellent benefit. For example, color. Color is an excellent source in the procedure of ordering because its element s of saturation, if included properly, can prevent jumbling, blurry appearances, and cluttering. A perfect display of this technique can be observed in two maps from the article I’ve just read. These maps are the U.S Army map of Simla, India, which is a map without color, therefore confusing the observer with its cluttered and incoherent appearance and a map of Tokyo Prefecture, which has color, producing a clear presentation of the area. Here color played the important role of bringing about a clear goal of close observation. Without color, such as the map of India, one gets confused because it’s hard to tell the difference of one object in line drawing from another. The picture can pass as scribble scrabble if viewed by a child. The importance of color inclusion is just one of many applicable approaches that can be used to make clear organization. Now, what does organization have to do with design? Design within itself is organization already. This is so because you cannot design without proper order of the important features in a design to bring out a concept. Every design has a concept derived from the thought process of order because a designer has to be aware of his/her goal of production and the steps that precedes the approval of a perfect project. Form have to follow function not just physically, but mental as well. Where do I go from here? First off, I have to catch up with my close practicing of key elements of organization. I believe with me doing so that I can bring about even more excellent floor plans and elevations that would make my concept of architectural design even stronger. I also learned that strong organization is a continuous process that pauses with the completion of projects which benefits from proper procedure. I have a lot to learn and I prefer to do so through practice, hands on.

  1. This is great! I'm very glad to see this coming together in your head!

    However you must have missed when I said they had been uploaded improperly, no worries. Let's talk in class tomorrow (you'll be ahead of the game) so I can ensure you're on the correct reading.
