Art vs Design

[Corpsey]

Luka says graphic designers are worse than paedophiles.

(Presumably especially the paedophilic graphic designers.)

 

[luka]

any case anyone makes for design is going to make me feel so quesy and distressed. i can just imagine how they will phrase it and i already feel a bit sick and anxious.

 

[vimothy]

who's the guy who designed all the braun stuff in the 70s and 80s? hes pretty cool, surely

 

[luka]

no

 

[luka]

as silver dollars pointed out, we can't afford to make exceptions.

 

[vimothy]

but everyone likes a nice alarm clock

 

[vimothy]

or a kettle

 

[Corpsey]

I don't think luka's against design in general just against it getting big ideas and encroaching upon the hallowed halls of Art.

 

[luka]

you're marking yourself out as a dissident vim, which is a dangerous game to play. there is a A List, and your name is going on it.

no im against it in general. always have been.

 

[Corpsey]

"While not being exactly an art nor a science, it takes elements from both. Art is about creating something that expresses the author’s vision, ideas and feelings. While designers can express feelings and leave impressions through their work, doing so is not their prime objective. So it takes the creating aspect of art, as it is about crafting an item, a tool, an experience even."

What is design?

Design is the process of imagining and planning the creation of objects, systems, buildings, vehicles, etc. It is about creating solutions for people.

luka is such a reactionary, its shameless

 

[Corpsey]

That ease of use is important

It explains all the smooth edges. The immaculate grading. Everything 'just so'.

 

[woops]

i can remember saying as a student that graphic design would take over from fine art and i was right

 

[luka]

commodity fetishism

 

[vimothy]

graphic designer is the most hipster profession, in my experience. they all have ironic beards, tattoos, and wear lumberjack shirts.

 

[Corpsey]

I've tried out graphic design in the past (i mean literally sitting at somebody's desk and playing around on photoshop) and it seems like a lot of fun.

Probably isn't after five minutes, though.

 

[craner]

I don't have a problem with graphic design.

 

[luka]

I don't have a problem with graphic design.

we all know where your sympathies lie

I've a friend who complained another friend's bathroom was "the least ergonomic bathroom" he'd ever seen.
