I have found this design context an interesting course as a first year designer as I have found that the continuous pattern of design trends and ideas is like a swinging pendulum, and to understand where we will be going as designers we need to know the history of where the pendulum has been during dramatic and influential design movements such as the Bauhaus, Rococo and other design movements. With the knowledge of the context of design, it helps upcoming designers such as us as students to follow this trend of the influences and historical movements.
In the course we see the different motives behind historic design where it may be ornamental, for the customer, for a country or even used in politics.
Hopefully with the understanding of the past movements of design history it will help shape the design future to be better and stronger designs and bring through strong designers that have this knowledge of what works and what doesn’t.
