art vs design





art vs design

art for art’s sakepure aestheticsstandaloneno utilitariarismno purpose, no user





art vs designpure aesthetics

creativity which serves a purpose and/or a function targeted to a user

requires interaction between the design and a userintended as a visual or sensorial communication





the most common mistake a designer makes is too lose touch with the function of the design itself and work solely on the aesthetics side of it





creativity in design is not limitless but it does express in infinite ways in the limits of the required purpose

just like a painter who should paint in the limits of the size of the canvasbut inside that framethe creativity of the painter can express in infinite ways

design as use of space





design as use of spacecommunication through design is achieved by the way we arrange the available space





space

negative spacewhat the user perceives as empty

positive spacewhat the user perceives as the actual contents





space

negative spacewhat the user perceives as empty

positive spacewhat the user perceives as the actual contents

positive space works depending on how the negative space that surrounds it gets activated and guides the “eye” of the user through the layout

















the difference between the attittude of a designer (who makes design)and the attitude of a user (who uses that design)is that a designer should be able to predict how the user will experience the design
