<p>There's a lot you can get out of font design, one of those is feelings. As a reflection on the various design concepts I have explored at Cooper Hewitt with the Design Scholars, I created a Learning Lab on how the fonts in our everyday lives are connected to the feelings that we portray in our writing. I have pulled resources from designers I have met throughout the DesignPrep Program, including designs from Cooper Hewitt, the Smithsonian, and myself. Below you will see a collection of 10 images (each with a description on the connection to feelings) including a video "Wicked Problems in Type Design" that you can explore.</p> <p> ***The descriptions written by me may not depict what the actual designer intended their audience to feel, but they are my interpretation (except for my 2 pieces), so please feel free to build off of or have your own interpretation </p><p><em>#designthinking</em></p>

<p>The 1960's and the 1970's were a tumultuous time in American History. Events such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam war and Second Wave Feminism majorly affected American culture. Social movements working for equality consisted mainly of young people who attempted to push boundaries not only of social constructs but of fashion. This collection explores the development of fashion in the 1960's in conjunction with rapid change in American society. </p>

<p>This Learning Lab showcases different examples of accessible design in order to provide a fuller understanding of what designing for accessibility can look like. The collection shown here includes designs that address physical, cognitive, and emotional barriers that impact the lives of people with disabilities. This Learning Lab explores design for the blind, for wheelchair accessibility, for the elderly, and for people with autism. Through the DesignPrep Scholars program, I have learned about various design disciplines and focuses. DesignPrep Scholars gave me the opportunity to meet several inspirational designers and do many design projects. Throughout this experience, I have been especially drawn to design that is inclusive and accessible. This Learning Lab is the culmination of my work at DesignPrep Scholars and displays what I have learned about accessible design.</p><p><em>#designthinking</em></p><p><br /></p>

<p>Discover the numerous resources that explore human nature to improve our physical appearances. We often think of cosmetics and clothing as some of the most popular items people use to improve their physical appearances. However, technology pushes the limits of physical altercations to include prosthetics and other tools that let allow us to add to our bodies in ways that diverge from a simple touch-up or T-shirt. </p>

<p>This collection has an evolutionary theme. The general objects, such as the race cars, will show three versions of itself: Its early design, its modern design, and its possible future design. </p>

<p>The Spring 2020 Cooper Hewitt Design Scholars, a group of high school students with an interest in pursuing design as a career path, have explored design through independent research into topics of interest in design, ranging from contemporary fashion design to surrealism to an exploration of silk. Below, find their collections, created as part of these explorations. Bravo, Cooper Hewitt Design Scholars! </p>

<p class="text-center">Colors play an important role in design. Such as product design, graphic design, architecture, and interior design. Designer chose a specific color for their design for different purposes.<br /></p>
