"Design is deliberate.Rather than hope for the best and accept the results, artists and designers explore a wide range of solutions to every problem, then choose the most promising option for further development" Stewart XIX.
Reading this introduction passage in 'Launching The Imagination" made me take some time to think about the concept of design more than I ever really have in the past. It pushed at my brain, making me realize that while I have been an artist for a long time, I have not always thought through my artworks in a way that careful design entails, and that could be why I have been very unappreciative of my own work in the past. Maybe if I were to take more time and effort to plan out my ideas and concepts the end result might please me much more. Maybe the concept of "you are your own worst critic" at least for myself is because of that lack of careful thought in the design field. Just something to think about.
