I am interested in Hannah Hoch because . Although her art does seem to be computer generated, it can be clearly distinguished that they are graphic designs. Her art really captures the eye because it uses minimal colors and recycled paper but they compliment each other so well that it evokes a sense of happiness. She incorporates everyday images that we see on magazines and newspaper that look so complete together. Her art existed during the Weimer period before Hitler was elected. During the Weimer peiod, Germany was technologically superior compared to other countries. Her art reflects the modern art that the advanced country lead to. Hoch impacted graphic design today because her art was not only a form of aesthetic appeal, but also it presented an idea of political opinion. THis reminds us that graphic design should express emotions and perspective of our emotions.

Something that inspires me...
    My visit to the rural side of China inspired me to think beyond what I knew living in New York CIty. It inspired me to realize how big the world is. Being without technology, I began to realize how people can spend time creating real impacts for others. Because I did not have the ability to use the internet, I was forced to find ways to entertain myself. I went outside to explore new animals plants, and experienced a new culture. I couldnt believe that I could survive at first, but I actually enjoyed it more than my urban lifestyle back at home. Despite the mosquito bits, humidity, and bugs, I was inspired by the beauty of nature.
