I believe being a great designer is more than knowing some tools and processes. It's how you approach problems. It's how you think.
@retinart that's a challenge of design - we need to create solutions that encourage people to try, even if it is not our, or their, style.

@DaveHogue I think we'd be fighting nature too hard in that case. our first instinct is so damn powerful, that even if something is -
@retinart in psychology that's called "instinctive drift" - it is very hard to train against instinct and ingrained patterns or behavior. -
@DaveHogue (this is getting interesting!)

@DaveHogue brilliantly designed, but ugly as sin, we'll never bother to try it, or at best, never shake that initial feeling -
@retinart research found that of two equivalent objects, the more attractive one is systematically judged to perform better. -
@DaveHogue Yup, I've seen that (bank ATMss study in Europe?), and I think attractiveness comes from taste -
@retinart or this web summary of "Attractive Things Word Better" http://www.jnd.org/dn.mss/emotion_design_at.html … -
@DaveHogue awesome, thanks :) but haven't you now looped around and agreed with me about taste being as important as design? -
@retinart It would appear, yes. Shall we define "taste" as "personal perception of attractiveness and appeal"? :) -
@DaveHogue Yeah! And i think the great designers are able to tap into a collective understanding of what that means for their audience -
@retinart Do they design to avoid repulsion, to seek attraction, or compromise in the middle for nearly everyone? (Design is not Art here.) - 2 more replies

@DaveHogue Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that taste trumps design. I think design comes first, but taste closely followsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
