''Beautility'' Good Design Has Utility by Tucker Viemeister


Beautility it is a combination between two words beauty and utility

and utility means something practical and useful

Economic grab all the headlines, but beauty is just as important they complete each others.


However for some cultures beauty never meets utility and vise virsa.

To make it more clear French people they eat dessert before eating their meal, which means that beauty is a priority in their life while utility is just a secondary option. On the other hand we have china utility is their number one while beauty is a secondary. They have electronic industry, heavy industry like coal- petroleum as you can see no beauty is there.beauty's effects go a longer way than meets the eye, the dimensions of its positivity last, not only throughout the moment, but also throughout an extension of that moment.

it has deep psychological effects that grasp every human being and entices them into taking pleasure by looking at it or perceiving it in any way. Beauty, is one of these subjective matters that go hand in hand with the individual's perception on life, self and many other aspects which form that individual's "being"

The Designer as Producer


Artwork is the process or product of arranging elements in a way to effect senses or emotions, It encompasses a diverse range in artists and designers activities, creations, and modes of expressions,, To some people, art and design is very important, to others it is nothing, To most it is nice, but fades away beside the everyday problems and catastrophic events.

There appears to be something about art that really means something to many of us, the fact that some people spend so much time trying to understand it, some spend money on one artwork than most people earn in a lifetime, that should make you think, it definitely shows that something is going on there, Based on that, I feel it’s pretty clear that art is more than just work. it is a respond to inspirations popping up here and there and using it without hesitation.

Good artwork has an audience, and yes artists and designers can comfort people with it, it’s meant to talk, please, and maybe jump out. Logo’s for example symbolize and provide an image nothing else can provide, it has to be suitable for any event changes , it is the centerpiece of the concept you want to deliver.

Designing a logo reveals meanings, and reveals function, it can’t be hidden. Artists rights has never been preserved, a lot of people abused artwork, even artists between themselves,, as far as I can see it is illegal to change somebody’s artwork even if it’s for a good purpose, you cannot take someone’s work and use it, sell it without credit on the work and permission from its owner. yet law can't follow and protect it all!!! It’s too widespread. What you can do is love the work, maybe use some of the design elements BUT your own techniques, you can elaborate, it’s ok to be inspired by the work and idea and work around it.
