Not This Guy
















 

I really enjoyed the video on Paul Rand that we watched in class on Wednesday. Although I had heard the name before, I wasn't really familiar with him or his work. He seemed like a really smart and interesting guy. I really liked his work that they showed in the movie, it was really simple and colorful. I was really interested in his comments about the painter using the terms "fine art" and "design". As Mr. Rand expressed, I also feel that it is often hard to draw the lines between different labels. Although they are necessary for human communication, I feel that labels often serve to constrict how we think about things.
