Explore the links below, the internet, and the world around you until you until you find a specific example of contemporary design that expresses an idealistic vision. Think out of the box! You will not select a work of art in the traditional sense, such as painting or sculpture. Instead you will select a specific well-designed product, building, or graphic form that serves a clear function and also expresses an idealistic vision. The internet is filled with information, images, and videos about architecture and design, and I encourage you to do additional research about the work you select. More information about Design Disciplines can be found in Artforms, Chapter 11, pages 176-187.
Explore these links to learn about the different types of design. You are not required to select a design example from these links, but I recommend that you look through them for ideas and inspiration.
Your post is worth 80 possible points
After you select an example of contemporary design, write and post a 500-650 word analysis, in which you describe, examine, and evaluate the design and how it expresses an idealistic vision. Organize your analysis into three paragraphs, listed below, and follow the instructions. Although not required, it may be helpful to use headings.
At the beginning of each paragraph, write a concise topic sentence that clearly states what the paragraph is about. This topic sentence will help frame the controlling argument for each paragraph and will help your reader follow your key ideas.
This paragraph should be between 150-200 words
First, post an image, or post a link to the design example you are writing about. For example, if you choose to write about the design of a specific website, you would post a link to that website. You may also include a link to a video by or about the designer or architect and their work.
In your topic sentence, clearly state the name of the example you selected and its function. Do this in one sentence.
For example: "The Macbook Pro, the well-known Apple laptop, is a portable computer that helps people access information and complete complex tasks for themselves."
Next, describe the overall design as you would to someone who hasn’t seen it. Paint a detailed picture with words. Your description should be so clear and specific that the reader can imagine, in their mind, how it looks and functions.
This paragraph should be between 200-250 words.
In your topic sentence, clearly state the idealistic vision represented in the design example. What is the big idea that underpins the design? What is the ideal the designer was aiming for?
For example: "The Macbook Pro uses an intuitive human-centered design that promotes individual power, creativity, and liberation.
Next, explain in detail how this ideal is manifested in the design. How does the design express this idealistic vision…the big idea? Support your key points with several specific observations from the design you selected. Each sentence must be clear and descriptive. You can also use ideas and information you find online, as well as your own ideas and insights. Please cite your sources.

You don't need to answer all these questions. They are here to get you thinking.
This paragraph should be between 150-200 words
In your topic sentence, briefly summarize whether or not you think the design was effective or successful, and why. Do this in one sentence.
For example: "Perfect in every detail and fun to use, the Macbook Pro revolutionized the way we think with computers.
Next, analyze your own reaction to the design and evaluate it's effectiveness in more detail. Explain why, or why not, you think the design is successful. Support your key points with specific observations from the design you selected.

Again, you don't need to answer all these questions. They are here to get you thinking.
