Project Six Mauk Design Matthew Kuukka

Mauk was a really cool design firm, it is amazing how small they are and how much work that they do. They do some amazing work that is not just limited to exhibition design showing how diverse they are and capable of almost any type of design work. It was also cool to get some insider knowledge about what things were made from and how simple some of the most amazing looking things were. That the main thing I took away was that things should be kept simple and try to use existing things as much as possible.

PROJECT 6: Mauk Field Trip

DAI 524

The Mauk Design field trip was an informative experience that allowed us to understand the concept of preparing for various exhibits. Some main points that Mitchell Mauk focused were on time management, materials, and concept. 

Mitchell explains that every assignment takes a lot of time planning and prototyping. For instance, Mauk Design had a visual communication project for a modern fresh recently completed airport. Within this project some requirements were vital factors toward functionality. Overall this project took them a lot of re-assembling and re-structuring, as well as a whole year of stress and tension.

At the end of the day you were able to get a general idea of the development, procedures, and course of action that one would have to take to design an exhibit.
