Part One:
Theo van Doesburg was born on August 30^th 1883, in Utrecht, the Netherlands. His real name however is Christian Emil Marie Küpper, he would always refer his stepfather (Theodorus Doesburg) to be his main father, and that is why all of his work is signed Theo Doesburg he later added ‘van’ to his name. Theo van Doesburg was a writer, designer, an art critic, and a painter he was highly influenced by Wassily Kandinsky, who was a Russian painter that was credited to the first abstract work. His work was structured more around a simplistic geometric style. van Doesburg is mostly known for his lead in the artistic movement “De Stijl” it was said “he influenced many graphic designers with his many theories that conveyed the idea that there was a collective experience of reality that could be tapped as a medium of communication.” This appealed to other artist mostly because it pursued abstraction though primary color schemes and geometric shapes. His work would change to a mix of cubism and futurism mixed together.As I looked deeper into van Doesburg’s work I found some of it to be recognizable. It is very interesting to me that his work was something to start a movement in the art world.

Reading this article helped me clarify the meaning of hierarchy. I never thought that deep into the layout of things and how a certain advertisement reads and the organization of it. Once I read this article I decided to take a look into things like magazines, advertisements, and even the label on my lotion bottle. I quickly noticed how the designer of the product wants you to read the label, things that are most important and they want you to read first are the biggest, and the least important information is in the smallest point font. The designers work through the layout to pull your eyes around the way they want them too, they take the time to create a layout that will work best for what you are trying to get across to the viewer.

This assignment  I found to be enjoyable, I love using my imagination to create. This assignment allowed my to stretch my mind and come up with strange and unusual objects. I found it to be very relaxing, although it took a lot of work to figure what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to pair them together. I found it so interesting how we would start with one simple word “tool” and then we would end up on a complete other topic. This assignment was a great way to make the brain think.

Why I’m Interested 
Growing up, I have always been a creative person, when I was in the third grade, my two friends  and I decided that when we grow up we are going to own an art studio together. As we got older we all drifted into our different interests, but mine continued to be the arts. I was never good at drawing, so for a period in my life I stopped creating. When I got to high school I was introduced to a whole new kind of art, Graphic Design. During the course of my high school years I found my passion in Graphic Design.
What I’m Interested In
My areas of interest is publication design and advertising design. I find these two areas to be the most appealing to myself because these are two very publicized fields in graphic design. I love being able to come up with my own ideas and bringing them to life. I plan to double major in Marketing so that way I will have the skills of a graphic designer and an advertiser. I want to be a designer for an advertising team. Advertising is very important in our economy, not many people realize that. Every advertisement that is put out into the world is a reflection of its company. It is the designers job to bring life to the advertisement and make it stand out. Publication design has a mix of things  I like to do. I enjoy photography, I like taking the pictures, editing, and seeing the end results. Publication design gives you so many options on things you can do, I love creating ideas and giving something an identity and showing my personality in my work.

I like looking at the cover of magazines because I feel like they always set the tone of what the magazine is going to be based on.
