Lecture
   The slide show for the class basically in a whole just told about the different aspects of design and how each of branch of design is different and carry completely different purposes. A couple of the facts that I recall from the lecture were the perks from each branch and how they worked. 
    To begin with Industrial Design came first because of the Industrial Revolution with the mass production and quantity over quality. The quote "that form follows function" sticks out to me in Industrial design and Louis Sullivan, whom i think was considered the father of modern technology, also sticks out to me in this section. 
    Next, Interior Space Designers whom are not architects, design how a space works on the inside to make a functional public environment. Not to be confused with Interior Decorators. Those are the people on HGTV who design a living space for a specific person at a time in their own living area. An Interior Space Designers also creates for other people but more or less a mass quantity of people. Such as just the public in general. 
   Then to Visual Design, which takes the printing part into play. With logos, letterheads, business cards and etc. Their primary considerations are to inform, educate, persuade, and entertain. Visual Design goes further into things like symbolism and typography of text. 
    Basically, from the lecture I learned the more important roles that can come from design which include medical and etc which are not only dealing with the safety of the consumer but also their lives may depend on it also. Which can be misleading to most who do no know exactly what design is. Most may think it is just an aspect of art and nothing to do with anyone. But in reality it has everything to do with everyone.
