MAKING SENSE

OF DESIGN - Backpfeifengesicht


Ari Sinert + Bean Armstrong

The Backpfeifengesicht was a project Bean Armstrong and I worked on during our making sense of design studio. The goal of this studio was the understand the fundamental principles of design by applying them to our own projects. 

Both Bean and I got two randomized sentences as a prompt to base our projects on. We were paired together as we both had similar prompts and worked well together.

Our final project for the studio, dubbed the Backpfeifengesicht (german) was a pillow that screams when you press it. Our intention was to teach little kids empathy through the fact that everyone feels pain.
