Quiz: What's your design alter-ego?
Design in a Nutshell is an entertaining series of short videos explaining design movements from the last 200 years. The animations are charming, and the narrator has a fabulous accent and says things like "al-yoo-min-ee-um." Watch the videos here to educate yourself about design history, or take a quiz to determine your design alter-ego.
Your alternate persona will be a mashup of notable names from the movement that best matches your style. I ended up a modernist, then took the quiz a few more times to see the other characters. The postmodernist dude (whose favorite color is Thursday) cracked me up.

This is really fun! The questions were really hard for me to answer though. Not enough choices for me I guess. :)
You mean you don't think a Saarinen tulip chair is like a tiger? It's so obvious. :)
How fun!

The questions were crazy, and so was my "alter-ego". Ha!

Great videos. Just call me Ludwig van der Pound.
That 'fabulous accent' by the way is Scottish. It is alright to laugh at our pronounciation. We laugh at yours and the fact you had to simplify spelling to cope with it!!!
Yours sounds much more distinguished. British, Scottish, Irish accents... I love them all.
LOVE DESIGN HISTORY
THANKS!
I always get the same score as you do! We must be twins or something... at least twins in taste and style perhaps.
Or maybe we are actual twins. Are you almost 6 feet tall with really big feet too?
She is NOT your twin, no matter what her size or what score she gets! Somehow I just know that.
Mum
Okay then. If you're sure.
even if I'm not that tall and my feet are a very small, we could still be twins.
Wouldn't be great to have a brazilian twin, who is part japanese, part italian and has a british last name?
It would be wonderful!!! :)
I suppose I could consider adoption....
So fun, and so well done-- thanks! (Just call me Karla Gropius.)
