If we will look at this question from one side we can think that everyone can be a designer cause everyone's sight of the world is different from the others
BUT
Not all of the people can make it real
and if you have no technique and creative sight you won't be a great famous designer
Sorry guys, not all of you can be an art proffesionals
My dear friend, all of us are artists.
If a friend said he had a brilliant dream and decided to put it paper and I thought is was drawn bad with no colour, this would be my opinion.
I doesn't matter what you can draw and cant draw because in the end you can look at what you have done and say its art even though no-one else does.
Theres art in all of us mate!
strange, but you're absolutely right... ;)Quote:

I agree with Mullz that there's art in all of us.
I just think there's more artist in some people than others. I can't honestly believe that anybody can become a Picasso or a Da Vinci just by putting their minds to it.
The interesting part of this question is that not everybody can do what they want to do
I mean they have an idea and they do not making it like they want to
and we (designers) can make absolutely the same thing as comes into our minds
Anyone can look at a picture and say whether they like it or not, but it takes something more to adequately explain why. Similarly there is art in all of us, but not all of us can make great art. It isn't something you can learn, just something you either have, or don't.
Design is very subjective, and one man's masterpiece is another's monstrosity.
Maybe more people will tell their opinion??
I think everybody is artistic, but some people are just somewhat more talented than others, more creative and more able to bring their artistic thoughts into practise (which can be quite difficult sometimes)
What I find fascinating is that the one moment you can have a total black-out and the other you come up with the most brilliant ideas
Hi,
I'm part of a team of 6 webdesigners, but I am the only one without a graphical background.
Though, I draw a lot myself, collect tons of flyers, and dig into every possible source of inspiration. As a result I'm able to create//translate the clients wish into a design that fits. TIme after time after time...
Everyone can draw, sure, but that makes not an artist of you. A famous philosopher once said: "Anyone can break eggs, but not everyone can bake an excellent omelette"

Whenever you express youself in any medium, the result is art. It may be crap, but still, Art.
Being a successful designer means you have the ability to express yourself in a manner pleasing to the majority.
Anyone can be a designer. A few will be successful.

Harra you're clever one..
Sorry, Harra
are you saying that everything anyone draws is art ???
WOw man, I think it's time to pay attention to the vocabular used in this discussion!
Harra talks about 2 different arts: "art" and "Art", (mind the capital, guys ;))
Maybe let me tell you a little story:
Not so long ago, a few years or so, there was a very exclusive exhibition in one of Germany's finest and most famous museums. It covered an "unknown" artist, and no name was given...
On this exhibition the finest art critics (the "crème de la crème") were invited to have this first encounter with this "revolutionary" artist, and media coverage hyped the event!
Well, all the critics were really, really... *really* impressed by the artist's simple but yet very 'expressive' work. They all talked about the work in superlatives: "the unbelievable balance of...", "the extremely expressive tones..." etc.
(The work in fact was quite 'childish': just simple fat strokes of primary colors)
In the end they revealed the "famous artist": do you want to know who the artist was???
....
Well.... it was the ELEPHANT OF A GERMAN ZOO:)
He painted it with it's "tube nose" (sorry don'y know the english word ;))
Hahahaaa, you should have seen the critic's faces, oh boy!!
Well let's get on with this discussion!

English:::>>Elephant>>:::Trunk :)
e-site, from this day forward thou shalt be known as "tube nose".
Yeah, so what? That just shows that anyone can create great art. Just like those monkeys, Coco and.. can´t remember the others name. But anyway, the paintings those monkey did was some of the most beautiful works I´ve seen.
Animals do have a sense for colors too you know. Well, not dogs of course, but other animals with multichromatic vision.
Art is Art and art is Art too, dood.

Hi Harra,
This ain't showing nuthing!!
It's only saying anything COULD be considered as "art", but therefore not IS "art".
Imagine all those second-hand illustrators that draw your face when you're on holidays (you meet them all over Europe).
It sure is an art to draw like they do (I can't :(), which doesn't means they DELIVER art (I'd rather describe it as 'Kitsch' ;))
Maybe look at it like this: on how many designs you see (hundreds a day I suppose in your opinion), how many times do you say "Waaaaaw!!!" ?
e_site AKA "Tube nose"
Sure, there´s a lot of crap around. But what I mean is that there are no specifications for what qualifies something as art.
Even the caricature makers in their little beachstands may have some hidden meaning in their seemingly standardised images. It is very subjective, and you can never know for sure if a artist is crap or chooses to be crap.
Pretentious? Moi?!
Hi Harra,
well than we agree :) (finally?;))
It's absolutly right that there is a lot subjectivism involved here.
Didn't the Romans already say "De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum est" !
Can I please now get my name back :)
e_site 'formerly know as Tubenose'
CU !!
P.S. nice stuff on your site ;)
BTW: there are some kind of specifications of what art is/should be (see "Art history" and other educations at colleges and universities...) But there are only few people who have the right feeling for that. I'm talking about fine arts here, so that is another discussion...
Thanx.
Yah, no more arguing for the hell of it.
Agreed
Wow....what a discussion....there were two people looking at a cloud...one said " you know what that cloud reminds me of? it reminds me of mans constant struggle against his inhibitions that stifle a creative philosophy"....the other guy looked at the cloud and said..." it looks like a cloud to me".
Its amazing that people can read something into a piece of rubbish and see "art"...it all comes down to what the "art" does for you..
A lot of these "artist" go for shock value....by "pushing" the boundaries of what people perceive as decency,morality..they feel like they are presenting "art" to us.
I have to admit I would rather spend a day at the Art gallery looking at picasso and Da vinci..than waste my time in some art gallery looking a bycicle rims and welded spoons and forks....yeah some of it is not bad....but they only stimulate the intelect.....the others stimulate the Emotions..and THAT is what Art is all about for me...:)
