A lot of people that do have a lot of experience with design treat design decisions as subjective and arbitrary. Design is often taught as an arts subject, with woefully little science content. The rise of UX as a distinct discipline reflects this lack of scientific thinking in the mainstream design community.
- itronitron 9y agoI agree and I think that art and design students would benefit from classes on (or exposure to) the human visual system and neuroscience/cognitive psychology. A lot of the intuition behind subjective decisions in the arts can be further understood/explored/refined through the relevant science. For anyone interested in this topic I highly recommend the book "Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing" by Margaret Livingstone.
