Here we go

 Hello new world. I know many of you all may think that I have already arrived at the land of tea and biscuits (London, that is). However, I'm still in New York City, and wont be setting sail for the "new world" until the 28th of this month. In fact,

And now for the topic at hand: Design Scene in London. A pretty vague topic I'd say with so much to touch up on. From Graphic, to Product, to Interior, and of course Fashion.The topics for research and discussion are endless. So I guess I'll try to touch up on different aspects of design until I find my official "product" for further discussion. For one thing, I know that the university I'm attending is best known for the Graphic and Fashion programs, so I really think I'll get some beneficial information talking to the professors and program leaders there. And speaking of Fashion, had I known I was going to get this "beat" I probably would've left sooner to head off to head out to the UK for their Fashion Week. Crud! But anyway, I digress.


 Overall, I'd say it was definitely a good topic to touch on, because I can really get first hand idea of foreign interpretations of design away from my traditional American insight. My personal goal is to get a general sense of the inspiration behind designs. I'm sure past history, media, and overall trends are a big influence these days, but what other aspects impact various aspects of design?



By the end of the semester, I hope to have a clear concise idea of the British rendition of design and what has influence its multiple aspects, past and present. But in the mean time, until I leave my Amber Waves of Grain, I guess I'll be doing some browsing here and there on different articles that stand out to me. Until then, consider this an introductory for the most part. Let the countdown begin!
