Filters

Our perception of a challenge, or of different types of designing, or of limitations makes all the difference in the world. I am not particularly fond of designing for web pages. That doesn't mean that I don't want to do it, or want to learn about it. In accordance with what was mentioned in the Filter article, I would be the idea candidate to figure out a simple and more functional way of designing with a visually pleasing result. That doesn't mean, however, that success is eminent.

How we decide to approach a design problem changes the outcome. The filters, the limitations, that we set for ourselves or are set for us, dictate the boundaries of our design, but not the success of it. Like the example of the 60 second movie bio of musicians. The more successful one was within the constraints of the limitations of bandwidth and loading time, but would perhaps be considered less creative. What good is creativity if it isn't applied properly or when it becomes a hindrance?!

Ultimately, filters, as the author defines them, are our friends.
