Response to Paula Scher

When Paula Scher mentioned how New York inspires her to create work, I immediately saw the correlation between our line study assignment and her thought process. Paula speaks of New York City as a part of her identity, as a part of who she is as a designer. After seeing this, I better understood the power and influence that an environment can have on an individual. This is why it's so important to surround yourself with an environment, not only that you love, but can provide endless possibilities for exploration and growth. Our assignment makes it evident that places all over Kansas City, or anywhere for that matter, affect those who inhabit them and within this assignment it was part of our assignment to figure out what the significance of each place actually is.
