Constructing Meaning

Often reading the chapters in this book I find that the information is stuff I already know. But at the sametime although as artists we take a great deal of these details into account while working often some of the more miniscule and most influential details are overlooked. That is why critique and observation of our work while it is in the process of being created is so important. Others will see the meanings and messages we miss; their experiences and beliefs are different from our own and therefore give them a varring perspective on what is in front of them. Although the methods and information in the text may seem repetitive at times it is so important that we learn to do these things naturally and pay attention to the minor yet crutial details that others would miss. This ability not only defines are creativity but makes us into better designers, and like everything else in life practice makes perfect!
