THESIS RESPONSE 4

Biomimicry + Graphic Design Learning From Mother Nature By Alec Formatin Shirley

I really appreciate how the thesis layout was well-designed and there are many imageries involved, it made the paper much easier to read and follow.

Despite the organization of the content and the well-designed layout, I think that the first part of the thesis was a bit too long. Shirley spent a good amount of text talking about science, which I thinks she should emphasis more on the relationship between the science part with graphic design.

Yet I think that she did a really good job at the middle and the end of the thesis, she not only gave examples of how to design wisely in terms of completing the life cycle; she also explain the theory behind it. She reminded designers's job is not only to design something that looks appealing to consumers, but also being functional and durable. Other than that, the product should be able to "give back" to the nature after it is being used.

Reading this thesis paper definitely helped me on developing my own, it was very informative and easy to follow. One thing that I may be do differently from hers is that I would divine each part into sections and titled them, I think that way makes information easier to absorb for the readers and overall it would be more interesting to read.
