As the curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt’s National Design Museum, design author and directing MICA’s Graphic Design MFA program, Ellen Lupton has a full bag. Her lecture, entitled Details, Details: Ellen Lupton’s Design Rant sponsored by AIGA, should be a mix of that bag. Before going to see Bombadil at Tir Na Nog or Band of Horses at Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, stop by the lovely, newly renovated Burns Auditorium for some knowledge on DIY culture and its future in the design world. You may not see street signs or band flyers the same ever again.
Details, Details: Ellen Lupton’s Design Rant
Learn whats wrong with dumb quotes, hotel rooms, roller bags, the food pyramid, and more, much more. Ellen Lupton is obsessed with promoting design thinking and design practices to general audiences: writers, artists, kids, working fathers, and radical housewives. The D.I.Y. movement is part of the future of design; it is affecting every intellectual industry, from politics and journalism to music and rocket science. How is it affecting you? Designers are becoming evangelists of their own expertise, as well as breaking into countless new fields themselves that once were protected by barriers of professional knowledge. Today, anyone can be a designer (if they try)or a publisher, pundit, rock star, or filmmaker.
