Obsessed With Obsessions: Design For Obsession, Vara Yang

Masters Theses

Taking the notion of obsessions as the starting point for my thesis, I decided to investigate the daily rituals undertaken by a select group of people. I engaged myself in others’ idiosyncrasies, and found myself empathizing with their needs and desires. I found it fascinating how our obsessions vary so considerably. Yet, at the same time, I realized that each of the obsessions I explored was comparable in that the qualities that defined each obsession were essentially the same.

My thesis uses the obsession of Squeegee Girl as an example with which to demonstrate my personal concept of design. For …

Interplayable Surface: An Exploration On Augmented Gui That Co-Exists With Physical Environments, Hoon Yoon

The experiment participants were encouraged to participate in re-creates and reorganizes physical GUI, relating to their own situational specificity or informational tendencies they have. …

Practice Makes Practice, Gabriel Melcher

Masters Theses

Graphic Designers today must operate independently of specific tools and media. Modes of production are democratized, and so it is in the ways we choose to operate within these modes that define the value of the field. Practice Makes Practice is a response to this condition, refocusing attention from the products of design as endpoints of process to visual evidence of persistent questioning by the designer.

Through my work I question roles and media, enfolding audience, client, and collaborators into my process. My practice is improvisational, quick, and performative in its response to the specifics of site and circumstance. Through …

A Defense Of Offred's Agency, Camille Weber

Senior Theses

Although her novel falls within the 20^th century dystopian fictions such as Aldous Huxley’s A Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, Margaret Atwood refuses to label The Handmaid’s Tale that way, believing it minimizes the real focus of her work: the struggle her protagonist, Offred, must go through in order to maintain her individuality in a totalizing society. Instead, Atwood regards this novel as a work of speculative fiction, as all aspects of the narrative were inspired to some degree by events that have occurred throughout the course of human history.

The goal of this thesis is …
