time for round two.Letter to YSDNers + About this issue
Heyhey YSDN!
~
It’s time for round two of the YSDN Saddle as we kick off a strong
start to the school year of 2015-2016. I am already feeling the
adrenaline of meeting project deadlines and squeezing the creative
juices stored in my brain. So every now and then we need a break and
come out of our classroom bubbles. We need to see what we are as
a whole student body as we learn, fail, practice, and prepare for the
kind of world we are about to enter.
The second volume of the Saddle is going to be a little different.
We will have featured students designing collaborative posters based
on each issue’s theme. This month’s theme is nostalgia ~ So feel
free to tear the posters out of the Saddle and hang it over that shelf in
your room that’s full of nostalgic things you collected for the past 17
and a half years. You know which one I’m talking about.
We hold onto nostalgic memories for things like physical artifacts,
scents, and aesthetics. They are stored in the back of our minds.
Our perception of them are placed in the past and tucked in a dusty
corner. They are left forgotten until we see and feel something that
ignites our memories of them again.
Why should nostalgia be about something left behind? The way
we are attached to nostalgic things are parallel to how we attach
ourselves to our projects and process work. These nostalgic influences
are brought forward to the present and can be used again later. So let’s
take nostalgia out of the old and see it as the new, the now, the future.

project one, packaging design, and several failed prototypes: an article about self-loathing
Process Work Feature
I would like to preface this by saying that my unnamed professor is
a ridiculously kind professor and all of my self-loathing was entirely
self-inflicted. I have received nothing but positive encouragement and
valuable critiques, and I can now say, as I write this in week three,
that I enjoy packaging design, folding paper, and using the laser-cutter
to make cool things.
The project brief was to just make a container. That’s basically it. Just
make a container for anything. Go for it. Shoot for the stars. And make
a big old mess of your process work. The container I’m creating is for
socks, which you may or may not guess from these photos.
This year, my mid-semester crisis came early. I like to think that all
YSDN students have some sort of mental breakdown / emotional
crisis / why am I in design school when I am so horrendously
untalented and horrendously uninspired and I was supposed to change
the world but here I am, in TEL, at 3am with bloodshot eyes moment.
I know for a fact that some of my friends can empathize with this
statement, usually referencing somewhere around week seven.
Somehow, I had mine during the first week of classes.
It was Thursday night, or Friday morning, given the ungodly hour that
the TEL computer’s displayed in their upper-right corner. I’ll spare you
the details, but it involved many hours stretched over many days, many
folds, and many tears. Why did I choose packaging over communication
design. Why can’t I get a hang of this origami folding bullshit. Why
didn’t I take 3D design. Why am I spending $$$+++ to cry in TEL at
three in the morning. I went to bed around 4:30am, with my many failed
prototypes at the foot of my bed, and woke up again at eight to try and
desperately come up with something before by 12:30 class.
And guess what? I did. I came up with something new. I came
up with something good. I came out on the other side. We’ve heard
this before, but it’s true: we are our own worst critics. I walked into
critique on the same level playing ground as other students, received
valuable feedback, and left class exhausted. I went to York Lanes and
got frozen yogurt, because, obviously. It happens to the best of us, no
matter how much we pretend to be invincible.

Poster Analysis
By Hyojung Julia Seo

Poster A -
Summer nostalgia
Summer nostalgia is the theme
for this poster. We have many
senses tied down with our
memories. Even a short whiff
of a scent can remind us of
a moment in our lives. When
trying to convey an emotion
in our designs, we use these
same elements that remind
us of nostalgic moments to
communicate with our audience.
Collaborating in the TEL Fab Lab Studio.

Poster B -
Technology nostalgia
Technology devices, programs,
and operating systems were the
themes for this poster. Nostalgic
devices remind us of how limited
former technologies were and
how much more freedom we
have with what we have today.
The aesthetic created by old
devices still resonate with us,
and we can use it as a language
to speak with others that are
nostalgic over the same things.
This visual language is unique
becasue it bring the relics of the
past into a new language.
Coincidentally, there was an old PC Monitor in the Fab Lab when we
met to discuss what was nostalgic to us.

Next Issue
So now that we’ve dealt with bringing nostalgia to
the present and future, we’re reaching to the future
of futures and bringing it to the present.
What will posters look like in the post-era of the
post-apocalypse? How will they be designed? What
will the world’s attitude be towards designers?
It’s up to your imagination ~ Get involved in this
next issue by contacting the YSDN Saddle.
