When was the last time i looked at a poster without making mental note of its layout? or walked out of the supermarket without critisicing the packaging of products?
Honestly , i dont remember. Initially it used to amuse me. Well, now its more in the nature of involuntary and uncontrolled.
More often than not ,a designer designs for the non-designers so part of the process is to understand our own creation from the "other" mans perspective.But often we get so sensitive to our surroundings and see design in everything (which the "other" men fail to do) that the essence of true design "making OTHERS life better" seems to be lost in the whirlpool of our creative thoughts!
Ornamentation : clutter
Two bright colours : bad combination
Himesh reshamiya : no comments
Uncontrolled : worrisome
These are some of my own prejudices that have been proved wrong by the very surroundings i live in when i tried to put myself in someone elses shoe! But to accept this fact may take us longer than we might expect. I mean, whoever designs something that he/she does not believe in ? The egoist in each one of us wants to have its own signature style in whatever we do often blurring the line that seperates a whimsical fantasy and true need.
