Hello Terence,
After reading this passage
“(...)for most fields of design, visual appearance is not particularly
central.
In many areas of design, visual appearance is of little concern at all.”
I can see why the post might raise ontological issues. Perhaps I should
have
explained what I meant with “design quality,” (and with “Design” while we
are at it)
unfortunately I am currently too busy trying to make a paper readable
despite of
some very serious difficulties raised by faulty format guidelines (full text
justification not being the least of them.)
Nevertheless, I am sure we can agree that there is more to graphic design
than making things look pretty.
Hello Ranulph,
Double standards is the crux of the matter, and the one I was hoping could
be
discussed here by people with more experience than me.
