You Inspire Me
February 23, 2008
I love when the rain falls in LA. The water saturates the vegetation so it shines with a radiant emerald green color. I guess I was in a mood to appreciate this kind of thing after coming back from a morning in Pasadena. I explored the galleries at Art Center to get some inspiration for my final assignments. It always helps me to look at precise beautiful work.
Aside from this trip, I have been so inspired this week. I went to a great EDA lecture on Wednesday where Wendy Chun spoke about the enduring ephemeral nature of new media. I finished reading Envisioning Information for my book review. This is an essential text for any designer, Edward Tufte is a genius. And last night I had the opportunity to explore Getty exhibits and their design studios with my Designing Experiences class.
This is the California Video exhibit three weeks before opening.
Our professor is showing us the foam core models of the gallery spaces.
Here is the project archive and the assignment wall. Each designer has a different color and the projects span about 2 years on the calender. And I thought I was busy.
Art Center. Enough said.

Art center is great isn’t it. I enjoyed the industrial desing probably the most. To take everyday objects and make them into functional works of art seem like such a talent.
Hi,
We have a blog at the Getty and would like to link to you and to use one of your photos (of your professor in the studio). Is that OK with you? The blog is here: http://gettylens.wordpress.com/
Thanks. Love your post!
