Definitions Aren't Fun

Hello Blogger World!


So, this is my first post of the semester. Let me start out by explaining that I'm NOT an art major, hence the title of the blog. I wanted a small break from the sciences this semester and that is what I got. However, I absolutely love most art and appreciate it when I can. Be it sculpture, animation, painting, whatever, each piece has its own story.


Anyway...


My art professor has us doing weekly/daily post. Different topics all pertaining to art. So today is Friday and even though I should probably do the Wednesday post...I don't feel like it right now and I feel like this one is a whole lot easier. Like come on how hard can a definition be. 


Hour and a Half later...


Design apparently isn't something that is so easily defined. I suppose it depends on the type of design that you're looking for, but searching for that is a job in and of itself.


Design according to Wikipedia (since we don't use dictionaries or anything credible like that anymore) "implies a conscious effort to create something that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. For example, a graphic artist may design an advertisement poster. This person's job is to communicate the advertisement message (functional aspect) and to make it look good (aesthetically pleasing)." 




I feel that this picture is a perfect example of the definition above. The function of this room could be to entertain guest or to just chill out with that special someone, or even have a little family game night. It doesn't hurt that this living room/den isn't bad on the eyes. I mean I would like to hang out here, maybe sleep on the couch (like most sleep deprived college students do when they get home, after eating of course). 


That's all for now. I'll be back later this weekend for the next post. Woo Freakin Hoo. =]
