Most simply, Race and Design intersect at the corner of creation and perception. Hum crafted an article to discuss the ethical considerations we must make as content creators with regards to race.  Hum writes that designers must, “attend to  how  perceptual  habits,  such  as  the  racialized  gaze,  are  interwoven  with  their production of persuasive ensembles.” (Hum 192) More simply, as creators, we have a moral obligation to keep a very watchful eye on the perception of our audience. Some might argue that this suggests the power of the audience, as this indicates their ability to guide and direct the creativity of the content producer.

Hum also suggests that we must bare in mind that perception is based on previously experienced occurences, or notions that manifested prior to that which is being perceived. Certain Design may “adviocate for progressive, race-related reforms”. (Hum 193) In that same fashion, Gates quoted Taines saying that race was "the first and richest master faculty from which historical events take their rise." (Gates 3) That is to say that these two theorists agree that historical relvance shapes race and, thereby, shapes Design.

To conclude, I'll quote Hum's best line from the article: "we are not simply disembodied eyeballs." ( It is imperative that we consider the relationship between race and design so that we can appropriately create content without offending our audience. This highlights the problematized form of representation presented by creativity.
