Why you are pursuing design?

I am pursuing design because I am intrigued about the artistic medium and the endless possibilities it can create. I have been in the printing industry for 20 years and I was in awe when I saw my first augmented reality clip. I can see countless applications for this technology and how print media can be converged with virtual media


Beyond making a living, what do you hope to achieve through design?


I hope to produce some really cool, forward thinking designs that bring print/art and virtual reality together.


What inspires you to design!

The idea that I can create something that someone else might find thought provoking or become connected with gives me a sense of fulfillment and gratification.

What is it relevance to your life and world around you?

I feel as if everything around us is looked at unconsciously and consciously for it's design aesthetics and is subsequently judged in a matter that brings out some type of emotion. My views, judgements, purchases etc. are all swayed by my perception on how I see those things.

Websites

These websites give an overview and examples of augmented reality and the vast potential of this media.

  1. Were you able to make it to the BFA Thesis show at RedLine last spring? One of our students, Avery Wolkin, did an augmented reality piece. Also check out Zombies Arrrrr. Pretty cool stuff.

    How will you use augmented reality in the world of digital design? What sort of benefits does it bring? What makes it better than other types of media?
