Re: Authenticity

I think that it is definitely true that was we feel looks good may not necessarily be what is authentic. The same way someone posing as something they are not would feel or look out of place, so would a design.

If authenticity is something that helps define our personal style in design, I can definitely say I don't think I have found mine yet! I think if I am always designing for someone else in mind, rather than what I, myself, like, then it is difficult to nail down. It speaks volumes to me that I am not at that point. How does one come up with something authentic when there are SO many things to influence us?

ooo this is just too deep for me! :-)

Marie- that article on the new Obama campaign designs is absolutely on point- it seems off to me because it is completely devoid anything vivid. If last elections designs excited me and seemed fresh, then these seem to be completely the opposite- and not like him at all. Where is HE in these designs?
