HCCS English Netflix Abstract The Art of Design Questions

Netflix has a wonderful series called Abstract: The Art of Design. The series features designers from many areas. This week we are focusing on Christoph Niemann, an illustrator who designs covers for the New Yorker magazine, Tinker Hatfield who designs for NIKE, and Ilse Crawford, an interior designer who works with companies like IKEA. 

Choose one of the videos to watch and answer the following questions:

1. What did you find most inspirational/interesting about the designer you watched? What did you learn about their design process?

2. Designers discover passions that drive their work and style. Do you have a passion? How did you discover it? If you’ve ever been stuck in a rut, how did you get out of it?

3. Looking at your environment, what is a designer item that you own that is important to you? If money were not an issue, and you could purchase any designer item you wanted, what would it be and why?

4. Include an image of either your favorite designer item, or your dream designer item.
