In the last four classes, we have learned a lot about design, legal issues and the program at Ohio State. I enjoyed the lecture on color and the slides that showed all the different ways to find color combinations. I never thought of color palettes as being made through a method of choosing complementing colors.
I also thought the lecture on legal issues was interesting. I have heard of patents and trademarks but I never knew the difference between the two. Also, I didn’t know that the patents only last a certain number of years.
We also watched the video Rip!: A Remix Manifesto. I thought this video was intriguing. I didn’t like the randomness of the video and how there were so many random clips and music layered on top of each other in the video. I did find the topic of the video very interesting. I have always wondered how mash-ups are made and how they are legally able to use clips from other people’s songs. I didn’t feel as if the video gave a clear explanation as to how Girl Talk is able to use other’s music.
We also had speakers come into class from Design Circle and Cobego. I liked how Design Circle came in because I learned more about the design program at Ohio State. I wasn’t aware of the entrance exam that is required to be admitted into the Design School.
Cobego is a design firm that was founded by 5 OSU grads. I enjoyed looking at the projects that they have done and seeing how design can be applied in the real world. I also liked how they are industrial designers and that is what I am interested in.
