DESIGN VIEW Industrial Revolution | Consumer Culture and Product Design Previously in class… How typography served mass communications and modern visual culture Luminaries of architecture and furniture design in the International Style This class… How mass consumption led to cutting-edge designed objects Design luminaries and their philosophies on design While Europeans limited themselves to architecture and applied arts, the American “industrial designers” refashioned the world of appliances, toys, electronics, and automobiles. Mass media—film, tv, magazines, advertising—were instrumental in demonstrating lifestyle models that could be appropriated through consumption.

The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 50 Issue 2 February 2018
Potomac Chapter The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 50 Issue 2 February 2018 Studebakers and Facebook Steve White Our computers and the Internet open up so many vistas to us while we are at our desks or almost any stationary spot now. Many of our members enjoy the social interactions possible on Facebook. Those of us who enjoy classic cars can find a number of places on the site to post stories and photos of our Studebakers. There are three that are used by Studebaker aficionados. The first for our chapter is the Potomac Chapter SDC Facebook page. We have fourteen members now and that makes me wonder. Who among us is not taking advantage of this super social media site? We can post photos galore of our cars or anything related to Studebakers. Studebaker Addicts (International) contains some great discussions that we can access so easily. The photos range from rusted out Commanders in somebody’s field to Studebakers that are concours quality. The questions and answers with pictures posted there can be educational at times. Of course, other posts show everything from frustration to enthusiastic praise to condemnation partic- ularly when a poorly modified car is pictured. The last Studebaker Facebook page that I joined is one for Avanti lovers – Avantis Owners Associa- tion. There are so many useful things posted here for those who have original Avantis, Avanti IIs, and their successors. Owners looking for new parts have a place to go for help that usually provides a quick turnaround. My last visit to the Avantis Owners Association Facebook page found some ter- rific photos of Avanti concours winners.
