    objective thinking = good design?
    an odd equation.

    i hate to mince words with ya'll, but objective thinking is only part of the equation.

    and objective thinking is also something that can be learned in relation to design.

    i was a shitty shitty shitty designer all thru school. i learned thru critique and the study of other works. (now i am only a mildly fecal designer)

    like all art, design can be subjective. some folks will argue for the sake of argueing that great design is not subjective, but my bum says different. =)

    anyway, so... yea, you can learn to be a better designer can't you? you can learn to be MORE objective can't you. this doesnt necessarily mean that it can be TAUGHT (although it can to an extent), but it CAN be learned thru study or even from personal experience. my thoughts anyway, and just because i say something doesnt make it true. bleheheh.

    and now that i have had a semi intellectual outburst, allow me to back up my statements by saying "don't wank in the shower unless it is YOUR shower."

    now, i am gonna go scratch my chin and pretend to listen as my boss tells us all that our work is top notch, but we could do better.
