♻️ @pouyaahmadi_com ・・・ THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY UIC School of Design Public Seminar Series 2017–18 :: MARK OWENS :: Friday, October 27, 6:00pm UIC School of Design :: This series of seminars aims to investigate the parameters of design as a practice. Rather than showcasing “best practices”—optimal ways for designers to take on predetermined roles—it looks at alternative models for the profession in which designers develop their own agendas and territories. As a field, design has changed dramatically over the past few decades. While Modernist designers worked to rationalize their output in the 1950s and 60s, Postmodernism shattered that seemingly objective (yet authoritative) Modernist world view in the 1980s and 90s. Postmodernism’s lack of agenda, alongside the democratization of production tools and the World Wide Web, allowed for the nostalgic return of Modernism as a so-called “Global Style”/”Zombie Modernism” in the early 2000’s, but without early Modernism’s sense of public mission and service. Now the question is: where do we stand as design practitioners, writers, and educators in the post-digital and post-internet era? How do we redefine the role of the contemporary designer? Through a Glass Darkly questions notions of design practice today by considering alternative agendas for design. It showcases practices that go beyond surface, image, and form and utilize design as a tool capable of generating references and agendas outside predetermined boundaries. It introduces designers that elevate design discourse by repurposing design in the form of writing, producing, and publishing. It brings together designers who reject the status quo and seek to create their own alternative realities; designers who endeavor to remain relevant by redefining their practice and adopting positions outside traditionally defined domains. @uic_cada @marklifeofthemind #lectureseries #uiccada #markowens #schoolofdesign #typography #posterdesign #typographicposter #posterseries #graphicdesign #chicagodesign #plakat #affiche #designeveryday #itsnicethat #eyeondesign #postereveryday

In design school, you make a prototype to help visually conceptualize your design into a three dimensional form. This will help guide you in your design process when you run into issues creating the final design or when you need to make edits. I’m currently doing a test run on the longevity of rose petals for my next project. I’ll wait until the flowers are in full bloom to pluck them for@ their stems and create my prototype for one of my designs for @gpconservatory #fleurotica2019 STAY TUNED! • • • • #eventdesign #design #eventdesigners #chicagodesign #designer #chicagoevents #partytime #eventproduction #weddingdesign #wedding #weddingflorals #floraldesign #weddingstyle #floral #smallbusiness #womeninbusiness #shoplocal #makers #parties #venue #weddingvenue #creative #art #garfieldparkconservatory https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PgtR9hhGU/?igshid=l6phpwz3cosh
