Designers and artists

Original: http://www.moond.com/lab/?p=60

Yesterday colleagues did not intend to talk about this old topic, art and Designers (visual) What is the difference?

The text typesetting design for example, listed below two diagrams to illustrate, there may be some inspiration, the first figure should be counted as art (I drew it), the second is calculated by the designer (from Thecreator):

The following is a brief illustration of the purpose of my first drawing:

• The 1th is also very important (many young designers make similar mistakes), the design of the time did not understand the words want to express the content, at least from the design works can not be reflected in his understanding of the content: "Art is breaking the rules (art is breaking the rule)". You can see that the first picture uses the mind to arrange the text, embodies a special sense of balance, but if the design can not serve the content and theme, such works like no soul; in comparison, the second diagram of the rule of the crack skills to appear professional and relevant topics, and the arrangement also has a very detailed idea, relatively unique;
• 2nd, too much attention to the performance of text detail effects, not from the overall balance of the design of the whole effect of the first image although there is no great error or loophole, but the whole work lacks a unified overall sense;
• After that is to the personality, style of interpretation, do not make mistakes, the layout will often fall into the stereotypes and lack of new ideas, design, especially visual design, in what way to let the appreciation through the visual senses to leave a deep impression? Can they see another piece of work that was designed by the same designer?

The above is only a personal experience, I believe that designers to these points of thinking will bring some inspiration, welcome you to add, Exchange.
