Overview
Our design history education is somewhat limited at CMU, and names of famous designers often get talked about briefly and are soon forgotten. In order to make this history useful and usable for our class, we each investigated a famous designer, made connections with each other, and shared our discoveries through digital and physical pieces. My designer was Jan Tschichold, a master typographer and leader of The New Typography movement.

Final thoughts
Throughout the process, I did a lot of drawing and sketching to help us visualize what our space could look like. For the final, I took it upon myself to do the illustrations, since I had a pretty clear image in my head of how I wanted things to look. Judy led our team through the entire process and was our architectural and mechanical designer. Jackie wrote the content for and designed the slides. Adriel took care of investigating the feasibility of our technical proposals and helped with writing as well. I loved working with this team, and I'm super proud of how far we came!
