What‘s important to understand is that graphic design, architecture and product design did evolve at the same time, with similar underlying principles. It‘s all related.
- minhaz23 8y agoThank you so much! The video you linked to is about architecture correct? And your thesis is a good understanding of architecture will help with design as well?
- deltron3030 8y ago>The video you linked to is about architecture correct? Yes and no, it‘s more about a design mindset. >And your thesis is a good understanding of architecture will help with design as well? Sure. You don‘t need to know how to build a house though. It‘s more about the motivations of the designers and the practicality and purpose of the designs, how designers think. You can see similar debates between architecture and typography when it comes to ornamentation, the usefulness and practicality of it, and the appeal to conservative, progressive or even post modern audiences. That‘s also why it‘s similar to politics, the‘re fanatics on either side. If you understand this it will be easier to find a balance in your style that is right for the audience you design for.
