Theory and Practice

From observing the things around us to realising whats inside ourselves, design is a more then just a extension of a practical job, it is an outlet for our imagination, for our emotions and thoughts. We put a bit of ourselves in our work, and from our labour do we grow as we learn about ourselves and the world around us.

We note the way the world moves, from people walking to lizards crawling, the movement of the branches in a tree to the movement of the clouds, storing for later use such as an animation. I looked at some of Lev Yilmaz’s The Tale of Mere Existence and found that he to puts a bit of himself into his work, his animations relate to real life, perhaps his own. Looking at the work of others is like looking into a window into their mind as parts of them come out in there work, who they are, what they are like, were they came from and where they are going.

Though important, design is more then just finding an adequate solution to a problem, its further then analysis and research of the environment its our expression of our creativity.

This semester we have learnt more then how to do the work, but why to do the work. We have gained an understanding on whats ahead and what we will need to overcome, and we have been given the tools to overcome the challenges.
