What is design ?
Many, many, many, people blogged about this topic before but this is my view on the subject WHAT IS DESIGN?
Starting with keycss.com as an example, some visitors might consider this design, boring, dull, without enough features etc…
However, in the other hand some people might consider this design minimalist, straight to the point, usable with the essential features required for a blog.
Well design is what each and every mind decide on what is presented to us humans, and while studying design i had a teacher which use to say that our main objective as designer is to create an emotion around our design work and make it simply attractive.
Design is everywhere, and everyday we capture tons of information that surround us, but just a few elements became memorable, and for that reason their is a very popular quote in the design community : ” LESS IS MORE “.
Why less is more?
Simple, everything comes down to the a single word MESSAGE. Yes focus on the message that you want to transmit and make your designs, photography or any graphic element express itself, because if you add to much clutter onto your designs you have the risk of not getting the message across and then it will be just another element in populated landscape.
“Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things” is a book which i recommend to any designer in general as it explains human reaction to design in a very detailed way.
