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.

@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.) -
@DaveHogue why compromise? compromise never works, compromise is the work of committees of too many stakeholders -
@retinart Compromise also happens in a group of one. We filter and moderate our own thoughts and ideas, often subconsciously.

@DaveHogue isn't attractiveness small dents in beauty that are charming? That make something human? Feel natural? -
@retinart Imperfection, beauty, and charm - are we back to personal taste? Some people abhor imprecision and imperfection... -
@DaveHogue I think there's a difference between imperfection and natural beauty though- there's something naturally beautiful about the iMac -
@retinart perhaps the form is reminiscent of the biological? -
@DaveHogue well there is the story that Ive/Jobs wanted to mimic the shape/curve of a sunflower, so maybe? -
@retinart haven't heard that story, but I can believe it. I'll have to look it up. Thanks!
