@retinart good design is an elegant solution that works for many, while good taste is a personal aesthetic that not all will find good. ;)
@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 Avoiding repulsion = good design, seek attraction = taste, perhaps? -
@retinart I don't think I would make that split - it feels artificial, and it pigeonholes design as "avoiding the negative." -
@DaveHogue yeah, that is true, and I'd hate to suggest that design is ... so rudimentary. I just have an issue when taste gets treated so -
@retinart maybe: design solves problems, and taste is how the designer imprints their humanity upon the shared solution? -
@DaveHogue yes yes yes to this too. This wraps it up nicely for me. Problem is solved (design), solution is beautiful (taste) -
@retinart It's all a matter of perspective and POV: design is focused on the problem, and taste is part of the solution.
