All of those nuances really do matter. You may not be able to appreciate them, but subconsciously those decisions contribute to your sense of happiness, joy, or excitement about any given design.
As a matter of fact, I'd argue that it's those very nuances that make all the difference. Watch a directors commentary about a movie you really love. The details that go into a particular shot (lighting, composition, etc..) even if that shot is only 1 second in length contribute directly to your experience. You may not appreciate (or even care) about those details, but without them you wouldn't enjoy that movie nearly as much.
It's understanding that those differences matter, and understanding how to manipulate them to get your message across that makes design great.
- manmal 15y agoI agree - there is this album "Pornograffitti" from the band "Extreme" which made them world famous. It's a perfect blend of Funk & Rock, but that's not all there is to it - you can hear that it is "more" than the average band sound, and the sound is absolutely unique. After some digging, it can be found that there really is more to the tracks - they went to "extreme" lengths to add subtle details (overtones, inverse melodies, elaborate bass lines) which you cannot hear at first - only when you know, you start to hear those subtleties. My guitar teacher applied some of the concepts to one of the tracks on his band's first album, and it's the only track which really sounds like a hit - the details make it sound epic.
