"Good design has nothing to do with color or shape. A good idea is a good design. Good thinking is a good design. In motion graphics, we think of design as a sequence over time and space that tells a story. Emptiness can also be good design."--Garson Yu

It couldn't be any more vague.

me to -- Isn't a good design made up a colours and shapes?
- Biofreak0
It could... for example:
"Good design can be summarized in the culmination of a thought to the fruition of the actualized work. In this idea, we find our own inner design."
ok, i made that up on the spot, but it is pretty vague and more than a little silly. kinda like me.
haha, sorry.as far as agreeing or disagreeing, well, i feel that the point made is argueable in its entirety though not completely without merit. the idea of ... oh somebody stop me before i pull somehting! what has gotten into me today?
- Biofreak0
but in all honesty, i disagree with the first part in that shape and color cannot be held in disregard.
when speaking of visual design... these are the basis for everything. the idea that one can design without using color (greyscale included) is completely alien and i am at present unable to process the information
it is like explaining to me that there is no end to the universe. it may be true, but it doesnt meant that i have any comprehension of the idea. but i digress.
i think ill stop my rambling monologue here anyway though.

you are sounding very professor like

A paper clip is a piece of design and it's a good idea. It functions irrespective of it's colour, and to a certain extent it's shape.
So to a certain degree he's correct.
- matt240
if it wasn't for the clips shape it wouldn't work
- monNom0
for me, the videoclip shows exactly why that statement is flawed...
you may have the greatest idea ever(though it think their's is rather ho-hum) but without a good execution, you're not getting that idea across.
I think design is what you do to get those ideas into a tangible thing.

my weiner is a piece of design (a damn good one i might add) and it's a good idea (f*ck yeah it is!). it functions (most of the time)irrespective of it's color (we won't go there), and to a certain extent it's shape (which is huge).
does that mean i should agree too, or, that a plaster cast of my penis should be in a museum?!?
- monNom0
all of the above
- Biofreak0
bluejam. a good point, but i disagree entirely.
a paperclip is a form. if you bend it, it is no longer proper for "paperclipping" its intended function.
if you bend it, you make a new design using its form. you cannot escape the fact that anything you do with it, other than the "idea" of its function, is designing based on its physical shape or ability to reform into a new shape.
whew, im outta breath now. thanks a lot.
