Homework 1

How to Ruin a Great Design
Alice Rawsthorn


I thought the article was an interesting read to say the least. I had never thought about the different designs involved with traffic signs before. I specifically didn't know about London's "sloppily designed traffic signs."  There was one part of the article that I didn't agree with, it was when the author mentioned the old versus the current UPS logo. Although I appreciate the old design, I don't feel that the new design is as horrible as the author made it out to be. Frankly, I don't like this author's style of writing. I felt that the author had a snobbish tone and it was hard to become engaged. However, the article made a great point about designs-simplicity is best.
