It seems like I'm on a permanent quest to figure out what makes design... work. You know. When you look at something and you say to yourself "oh yeah." I've been wondering if, really, design is so different from other "arts" in this way. Like, say, the art of cooking. What makes a recipe work?
I read somewhere that ayurvedic theory believes the diet should encompass a balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent and pungent tastes. That's what makes it work. I've got those words on my bulletin board as a reminder.
My challenge this week... to incorporate this concept into my design work.
