Postcard Final

Blueprint Postcard, The Lex Apartments. Personal photograph by author. 2016.

Form my postcard I chose the quote from the Lawson reading that said, “Many forms of design, deal with both precise and vague ideas, call for systematic and chaotic thinking, need both imaginative thought and mechanical calculation. The picture that I thought described this quote well was a blueprint. I chose a blueprint because a blueprint is a drawing of an idea before it is actually made. There are also a lot of mechanical calculations in a blueprint, because every measurement has to be precise in order to have a working final product. The photo is a blueprint of an Iphone. The Iphone is an iconic design in the world today and it looks so simple, but most people fail to realize all of the calculation and design that takes place in creating the Iphone. Most people just see the Iphone for what it is, a phone, but in reality it is much more and there is much more work done in designing and creating the finished product.
