Reading Response 6 – BV

The influence and new creations of design have always seemed to be introduced by white Designers. Reading “Celebrating the African-American Practitioners Absent From Way Too Many Classroom Lectures” I’ve come to the same conclusion as Jerome Harris. Many students haven’t been educated as much about African American designers and how they have taken design to another level. Moreover, I’ve heard more about astonishing French designers or white designers in general. We’re so used to hearing about well-educated designers or even those with well-known background history, but what about those who’ve struggled to become recognized? And for those who didn’t receive any formal education and had to self-teach themselves through the basic essentials. Commercial Design has changed its direction nowadays because we have been given the liberty to create art, technology has helped us advance to design, promote and grow. The concept of design has grown in diversity, as JeromeReading Response 6 – Your Initials stated “ the inclusion of more women and people of color would severely shift the understanding of the field, and how people see themselves as practitioners” not only will be introduced to new design but it’ll educate the upcoming generations with all sorts of design from diverse designers.
