In our society design is everywhere. From the house we live in to the clothes we wear design is a major part of our society. Design makes our society grow. Throughout the years design evolved not only in fashion but also in architecture and graphic design.
Today we can look back and see how design has changed our society. If we look at say the 1970’s fashion we see many high waisted flare pants and now we have changed that style to low rise skinny jeans. It seems that what people wore then compared to what we wear now is totally different but to tell the truth some of the 70’s fashions are coming back. In the blog written by Professor Housefield, There’s no Geist like the Zeitgeist: Rodarte and NY Fashion Week 2010, we can further expand this idea of trends returning. Zeitgeist is derived from the German words (“geist”) which means “ghost” or “spirt” and (“zeit”) which means “times”. So today’s Zeitgeist is a mix between the new and the 70’s fashion. Fashion is not the only aspect of design that has evolved.
The graphic arts have forever changed the way we communicate with our audiences. Before there were hardly any logos and brand names in ads. Now nearly all the ads you see have some type of logo or icon. These drastic changes in our society are just some examples of how design has moved our society forward.
