“Design [By/For/Like] People” is an academic exhibition that brings together concepts and ideologies from 23 books about design. Each display in this exhibition explores how humans encounter design in their daily lives, whether through the process of designing, using designs, or critiquing them. “Design” has no universal definition, yet determines each of our interactions with and within the world. What can we learn from principles and aesthetics that will help us launch successful designs?The students of Dr. John Hatch’s “Lessons by Design” class have spent the Winter 2018 term investigating the different avenues of design. These include tips to help designers, ways to make designs more appealing to diverse audiences, and critical commentary of the ethics of design.
