I thought about content and form while I read “Design Process.” The author was talking about the relation of the two in terms of what is it, how is it going to be said. I thought this was interesting cause mostly, until this last project I’d think of content in terms of the assignment and form in terms of the time and materials I had. I liked the emphasis on looking because I think so much of our everyday life is based upon looking at the world and figuring out how to design the things we want to give to the world. I liked the author wrote about trial and error and the importance of experimenting because sometimes even after I learned how to do a thing, it turned out that it didn’t work anyway. Often while looking at the content I do my projects on I’ll become inspired by the things it reminds me of and experiment with different ways of connecting the two. Finally, when I’m done I think about whether I solved the problem I set out to solve or whether I created a different solution than I intended because the image is a form of iconic I didn’t realize.
