History of ID Week 8 Part 1: The Profession of Industrial Design (Raymond Loewy)

Watch as a desperate teacher tries to convert a live classroom experience into an online learning opportunity. 2020 Covid-19 management strategy. If you are here for class, hope you enjoy this. If you are just finding it on your own, PLEASE be kind. This is intended to solve problems in a time of crisis. It should live in a land beyond the reach of petty criticisms of my voice or mistaken pronunciation or differing interpretations that fill up so many comment boxes. Available to all because we need to work together and share resources. Feel free to use or share if this is useful in your own problem solving.

    Wow, I LOVE these lectures and I couldn't be more delighted that you're uploading them to KZread!!! I'm not a designer or engineer - in fact, I'm a little old lady who just happens to be fascinated by industrial design. I first discovered the History of ID channel several years ago, when "From Bauhaus to Broadway: A Tubular Steel Bonanza" came up as a random recommendation in my KZread feed. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything you've posted, from course lectures to industrial designer profiles (I've become a huge Lurelle Guild fan) and the talks you gave at ehxibition openings. I find your topics fascinating, your content both educational and thought-provoking, and your delivery absolutely charming. Bravo, and thanks so much for posting these lectures!

    It's amazing how much emotional impact technology can have when designed properly. I instantly fell in love with his steam locomotives.

    Hail from Vienna! I studied ID here, but the quality of your content is stunning compared to what I had acccess to! I'm watching all your history series and greatly appreciating the connections you make to the mindsets of the time, the economical conditions, business needs, social factors, personal branding, technology constraints etc. I had this quality of class, but only for art history, done by a great historian lady in her 80s on a double slide projector in a jam packed auditorium! I loved these lectures, they felt a bit like the Indiana Jones teaching in "Raiders of the lost Ark" 😊 anyway thank you for putting this out for all of us 🙏 I secretly hope you will have the time to do all 12 weeks online 😊

    Is it just me or this Raymond Loewy gentleman looks uncannily like the Ironman Tony Stark? Big thanks from a Chinese student looking to take the qualification exam to get in the art school of a Chinese university!

    Looking up “Raymond Loewy” I found your video/classes. Fabulous and I’ll review the others. First day at CSULB as a Junior in Mfg Eng’g, I walked to upper campus and happened on the displays of the ID Dept. My head exploded w/delight. Having 2 yrs invested in Eng’g, ID would be my next degree. Bought Loewy’s 2nd book at college book sale blowout, and recently purchased a signed Avanti print - you depicted. Combining the 2 educations has its advantages. Appreciate the depth of your coverage.

    Let's also remember the iconic 1964 (64° angle) Coast Guard racing stripe. The visual emotional reaction for those on the water is always priceless. It's either good or bad.🤣 Many other nations have now copied versions of the "Racing Stripe".

    Nice job weaving in the story of Time Magazine cover and the role of Loewy's PR person (a woman) who was instrumental in promoting him and his work. Love this as I do all of your lectures.

    Don't tell anyone I said so, but I don't think a single one of this big deal designers would have gotten anywhere without the many many women who did all the work behind the scenes....

    People think it's difficult to make symmetrical models in 1990's, think about the temples in India that had perfect symmetry which are sculpted out of stone and are made in a huge scale, all my respect to the Temple Builders

    1953... Do I get extra credit? Beautiful car. slightly rejected early on by Americans for looking too European. One of my many Favorites...... Great video. I think more time should be spent in the 30's. The most prolific time for car design and he was in the mix.

    Please make one correction on the 1949. Designed in 49, but it is a 1950model year. I would also not call it just a champion because of the commander and land cruiser models.

    The Avanti is also a reused design from the 1957 Lowey BMW concept car. I think he was able to be so fast, because he had a radical design in his back pocket. These are different than the early avanti designs which makes me think he knew all along what the car would become. Studebaker also make the avanti 63, and 64. American production of Studebaker ends in 64 but continues in Canada until 66. The Avanti was sold and started production again in late 60's and continued off and on until early 2000's.

    I was wondering how Loewy was able to start a design firm right before the depression and have success. He sold the idea of generating sales through design. Is this the birth of consumerism? Sounds like it.
