Blobs and cupcakes: Learning about design


An article written by Lisa Richardson at CORE-Ed looks at the relationship of form and function in design. It is important to understand this relationship as we explore design with our students.

"Today, using the Internet, social media, and blogs, anyone, of practically any age, has the potential to share their ideas with a giant audience with a few clicks. In a world of big data and 3 million blog posts a day, we are increasingly turning to visuals to give us an overview of the wealth of information we are creating."
