Science. The Art Part of It.
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics.
From the Brain Pickings, I happen to watch a short series about his notion of beauty, honors and curiosity. His notion is certainly beautiful beyond words.
One of the biggest take away from the video (honors) is this.
When i was in high school one of the first honors I got was to be a member of the arister which was a group of kids who got good grades, and everybody wanted to be a arister. And when I got in to the arister, I discovered what they did in their meetings was to sit around to discuss who else was worthy to join this wonderful group that we are.
It is always good to have rewards and recognition. However, personally, a great designer do not need an award or club membership to be recognise as one. The rewards are much greater.

An explosive marriage of Psychology, Art and Technology, Web Design is of cardinal significance in shaping our Web browsing experience today. This week, we speak to Mr. Eric Lee, founder and Ideation Strategist of Refruit, a homegrown multimedia company, to gain an intuitive insight into the multifaceted world of Web Design.
Can you share with us the story of Refruit?
“We provide Web and graphic design services with a human-centered approach in creating design solutions for our clients, hence our designs are not just functional but emotionally influential and communicable.”
What sparked your interest in Web design?
“Since young, I loved to create things and see them work. In 1998, when computers were getting increasingly popular, I started creating Web pages on Geocities.

What is the favourite design that you have created to date?

What do you think is the most important skill for a Web designer to have?
“Listening skills are essential in understanding what clients want. Many Web designers tend to grasp the big picture and neglect listening to the details which are crucial to the translation of the clients’ ideas into design.”

I like this solution from Leila Takayama
When you’re torn between a set of options and have to choose one, try this:
* Pick your top two options
* Get a coin

* Pause for a moment and see how you feel about your decision
- If your heart sinks, change your decision to the other side
- If you feel relief, stick with that decision
Sometimes, we already know what we want to have. We just need some assurance to our decision.
