Those of you tackling the object/artifact essay question in Contemporary Issues should watch this video about Steven Heller’s new book.
“The aim of this book, I Heart Design, which is an obvious twist on Milton Glaser’s beloved, ubiquitous, frequently copied trademark, is to explore what many of us believe to be a significant design object, artifact, or thing. Something with resonance, and implications beyond the context in which it was made. The book is not an objective history, but rather a subjective reflection that will supplement the historical record. What is it that touches the heart as well as the brain and eye equally?”
