Design Philosophy

SELFISH PLEASURE

"Art creates questions, design creates answers." - Jesse Weaver

My design philosophy is based on a relationship between self-satisfaction and human needs. Art and design are used to create a story, turning a space into a place. I enjoy the challenge of mentally and aesthetically satisfying others.

Art is used to translate emotion and uniqueness to a piece. There is so much freedom while creating art; it can be complex, mentally stimulating, or simple, there are no guidelines. The art is a reflection of the designer, much like a signature. It is a designer’s intention to make humans feel something or appreciate the work.

Design is when you assign meaning to an object. During the first phases, several ideas are put together to create a practical and effective design. Step by step, layers are peeled back until there is just the skeleton of a design. What is left is a simple, functional design that does not need to be interpreted.

  1. Hello Lynn! I enjoyed reading your design philosophy. In particular, I like how you defined what art and design mean to you and how you relate them together. What is a specific example of applying art and design to a project that you have completed thus far as a design student?
