The Rise of Anti-design
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed rokem
The cultural battle in the design world is raging on, and no one is properly talking about it. It's time we get our thoughts together and debate with each other on the topic- what makes us designers? Are there rules to our craft? And if so, who's making them? Just letting you guys know this time it's mandatory to leave your opinion in the comments. Be civil, but don't hold back.
The Full Story of the Lofi Girl - A Generational Comfort Zone
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed rokem
Lofi Girl is the quintessential icon of contemporary pop culture. She’s a celebrity but also mysterious and anonymous at the same time. Tracing her roots to the values and aesthetics of past generations, the ubiquitous girl caught the emotions of the youth on a simple basis: it’s ok to lose, but it’s not ok to give up. Thus, it opens the door to a closer inspection of the nature of western soci...

The Golden Ratio seems to be one of those ideas that, for some reason, lodges itself in the minds of both professionals and the general public and keeps on fascinating them for decades.

    Easy answer to your topics: All the inconsistencies are the result of history and millions of users have stored them in muscle memory. Each time Adobe tried to change them, they earned a massive shit storm. So Adobe kept them as hurdle that newbies have to pass to work with the most capable tool chain in the world. And exactly these particularities make it so hard for the expert every day users to change to alternatives like the Affinity tools.

    People need to be more observant more inquisitive about the “Golden Ratio “ It was created from nature,by nature,in nature and for us to enjoy. We have made many discoveries and through them new inventions were built, most of them were for the good. Yet all natural shapes and forms all belong to the geometry of the “square “with it’s diagonal and hypothenuse , from the“circle “we obtain the diameter,the arc and radius and of the “triangle “ we get the “hypotenuse”height “and “base“.The math works out beautifully. Some of today’s modern artists may have used a tool called a “Spiral”wheel. It may also have been called a “Spyro -graph “ the bigger outer circumference has an “inner”diameter core that is tooth notched “and the smaller ”inner circle has an outer circumference that is tooth notched and there is also has a small hole at the top of the “inner”circle so you can place a pencil and rotate it and this will scribe some patterns, or designs that could also be laid out on a canvas with the use of or by perforated paper to form a stencil, and then using crushed charcoal in a cheese cloth bag and pounding the bag on the perforated paper to obtain an outline, then painting the subject. This method was used by “Michelangelo”s apprentices when they helped him paint the ceilings of the Sistine chapel in Rome. Michelangelo also had an eye for depth (3D) also many other skilful qualities. In Oder to paint a scenery or landscape. The artists would apply the squares and the circles on the canvas, and then incorporate the subjects within these lines. People that had basic skills at drawing, sketching, shaping, sculpting, would understand this. Nature is a living biosphere and the artists were trying to capture the essence of beauty, the texture, the power, the emotions of love, jealousy, hatred, rage, exhaustion, victory, freedom, liberty, happiness , joy, in all of its calm and natural surroundings.The “GoldenRatio” is all around us, yet we fail to observe or recognize it,so sad…!!!

    It's not bullshit. You can see from numberphile videos that it's seemingly the most irrational number. You can feel it when you see the proper golden ratio sqaures. But I think that's why the normal 11235 squares are so much nicer to look at. You're effectively seeing a sequence tend towards chaos. And see, even that sentence, watching a sequence tend towards chaos is inherently satisfying. And that's why the golden ratio is special. It's relative to order. To just think of a piece of art as doing what you want with as many different sized golden ratios as you want is stupid. Because there are higher levels of thinking. Consider the ratio of space in a logo or something that doesn't follow the golden ratio vs the parts that do. You've got another opportunity for the ratio. And it's this complexity, that allows people to make all kinds of different forms of art. That can be massively different and still beautiful. There are many special ratios. And our feelings relate to the art we see, which can include a lot more than simple spirals. Life isn't simple, so where and what actually makes something complex and beautiful. It's not going to be obvious is it.
