Overview

The Introduction, Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 from McLuhan’s influential 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.
This is a fairly straightforward text. McLuhan_UnderstandingMedia_excDownload
-or-
Selected paged from The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effect, co-created by McLuhan and Quentin Fiore in 1967. This is an experimental text that relies heavily on image-text interactions. Here is a PDF: McLuhan_Fiore_Medium IsTheMassage_1967Download
Please take a look at both, to get a sense of the material, then choose one or the other to really focus on.
Consider the following:
McLuhan describes technology and media as “extensions of man.”
How do media extend human beings, or humanity in general?
What hazards might technological progress bring for individuals and society?
If “the medium is the message,” what role can artists and designers play in creating new messages?
How is the work of a designer subordinate to the media they use to create or distribute information?
You have two options for this response.
You can write 3-4 paragraphs.
Or you can respond in a “typophotographic” manner, combining images and text.
To understand what we mean by typographic, please look at McLuhan’s work

2. Final Report Outline
I have framed word illustration, a great work for Bangladesh In the background of modernism.
Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiyo Sangsad complex, which includes lawns, lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament. The entire masterpiece is designed in a way to form one or non–differentiable entity connecting the garden and mosque, surrounding the structure and forming a statement on the landscape.
Kahn’s key design philosophy optimizes the use of space while representing Bangladeshi heritage and culture. External lines are deeply recessed by porticoes with huge openings of regular geometric shapes on their exterior, shaping the building’s overall visual impact.

Macintosh 128k
The design I chose is the Macintosh 128K Home Computer, it’s the original Macintosh personal computer released in 1984. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computer, Inc., hired Hartmut Esslinger to design a visual code that would produce a range of design variations. The release of this computer was a historic moment not only for Silicon Valley but for computer and design history.

My Research paper is all about the Pride Flag that was created by an artist and an activist named Gilbert Baker. He was approached by an old friend of his Henery Milk, one of the first people who were openly gay and is an elected official in California. The Pride Flag was created as a symbol of pride for the LGBTQ community. The USA flag was the reason it inspired Baker to create the pride flag.
