Yet, so often I find that design is treated as an afterthought. When I approach design I see it as more than just a pretty logo or nice colors quickly thrown on top to make something appealing, for the purpose of design is so much more. Design creates emotion, makes a mark on the world, and most importantly it tells a story. These aspects is what create a relationship with the user and ultimately it creates a brand people can trust. We as humans care more about our relationships with our friends and family than our things. I strive to create a strong brand so whatever I design can feel a part of the family. It is that mindset that I always focus on in every project. No matter what is being designed, what makes it unique or relatable must be the focus. I see it as my job to encapsulate the emotion and the values and translate that into the design. I focus heavily on color and movement to convey and amplify that feeling to anyone who will interact with the piece. I focus on simplicity of the design first to create a feel that is easy to take in from the viewer's point of view and then tell the story in the details to keep their attention. Relationships mean so much to us, and it is hard to create a relationship with something that has no story. Building these aspects creates loyalty and attachment from the viewer to the brand and that is what matters most to me. I became a designer to bring beauty to our world, but I also want to bring meaning to it. Too often do I buy something from the store that brings me little joy because it is just an object. However, when something has personality, meaning and a reputation, I am the first to share with those I care about. I have always loved telling stories, and in design I help others tell theirs
Rachel Stern: capstone
No full text2017 Spring.Colorado State University Art and Art History Department capstone project.Capstone contains the artist's statement, a list of works, images of works and videos.The artist's statement: Our technology has made us all librarians of our memories. We have hundreds of pictures on our phones, work from years ago on our computers, and music playlists that are like time capsules. I find it funny how robots never forget, but our brains do; while humans feel emotion and robots do not. My work focuses on how robots preserve memory and emotion, despite their own lack of feeling. I play with that concept in my work with how a video or robot re-creates a memory, that will then never be forgot by the robot, but gives emotion to the viewer despite the device never understanding what it giving to the user. I focus heavily on shape, contrast and movement in my work to convey emotion. Often times, I highlight silhouettes for their shape gives detail while remaining interpretational. Another aspect of my work is a feeling of endlessness. My work has no clear ending, and no clear starting point other than the power button on the device. Our memories blur and we can get trapped in our own minds as we try to remember parts we have forgotten or where one moment started and one ended. I find more and more that the dates next to the photos on my phone fill in these gaps of knowledge, and my work demonstrates that. The feeling of artificial nostalgia mixed with emotion is where the heart of my work lies. Many science fiction movies play with the idea of robots gaining emotion, becoming self aware, able to learn, and ultimately killing humanity. While that is a reasonable fear to have, we ourselves are practically cyborgs already. Recording our memories to share online, our phones reminding us of schedules, and machines that help us create great things. As an artist my job is to remind us that our relationship with technology doesn't have to be seen as bad, but to see how it helps us remember our own humanity. Remember great moments that without our devices, we may have forgotten

Response to 'The Stern Review: A Dual Critique'.
No full textThis article is a response to the articles in the previous issue of World Economics by Carter et al. and Byatt et al., which criticized the Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change’s assessment of the potential impacts of climate change. The authors demonstrate that the Stern Review does not underestimate the extent of uncertainty, and does not introduce bias by ignoring the effects of adaptation. The assessment does represent the effects of different socioeconomic futures on impact, and does explain the key sources of uncertainty. The indicators of impact used in the assessment either take adaptation into account (food security, coastal flooding) or represent exposure to impact, and hence indicate a demand for adaptation if impacts are to be avoided
