Design is Not Art!
March 6, 2007 · → 2 Comments
This was one of the main things that I picked up from a post by Joshua Porter in my morning round of blog reading – design is not art.
Design is about usability and is almost always contextual. Most importantly thought it is about the user!
In the online world today I often come across people who confuse design and art. A beautiful web presence may not always be a well designed one.
This started me thinking about where else good design can fall victim to art-full-ness.
kitchen design, town planning, how-to guides ….
Where else can you think of?

Cars. I loathe the gold and the orange cars that have surfaced over the last 5 years. Those colours ruin some damn good body-designs!
(Hope you don’t have a gold or orange car!)
Gold or orange? me? I do remember the lovely gold that the old SLE Commodore came in. I agree ! Great design spoilt!
