The document discusses the history and use of grids in design. It begins by outlining the constraints of the design problem, including a screen resolution of 1024x768 and incorporating common ad unit sizes like the Big Ad. Various grid options are explored and a 12-unit grid with units of 62px is selected. Elements like headers, navigation, and content areas are placed on the grid. The document shows how following box model principles and allowing padding around elements achieves visual consistency. Overall the document provides an example of thoughtfully designing a grid structure based on constraints and using the grid to lay out page elements.
This document summarizes Arthur Danto's perspective on the philosophy of art. It discusses how the field of aesthetics was once seen as irrelevant but became important again due to conceptual artworks like Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes. These raised philosophical questions about what distinguishes art from non-art. Danto argues that art is representational and has meaning or content, unlike indiscernible real objects, making representation key to a theory of art. He also notes that the distinction between art and philosophy has become problematic as art becomes more self-conscious.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley criticizes early 20th century society and remains relevant today. In the novel, society is strictly controlled and people are genetically engineered and conditioned from birth to be happy with their positions. The story follows Lenina and Bernard who visit a Native American reservation where they meet John, who was raised in traditional society. When John returns to the futuristic society with them, he struggles to fit in and eventually commits suicide, unable to accept the lack of emotion, religion, and true happiness in this new world.
