Designing a product is much different than executing a musical performance because playing guitar on stage contains elements out of your total control like a broken guitar string, amp malfunction etc. Sometimes they miss a note, that's not a mental lapse, it can be a physical disconnect between what their mind is trying to accomplish and what their finger actually does.
A designer has total control over a product before it is released. This article is about the mental pursuit of perfection.
- NathanKP 14y agoA designer does not have total control except in the most ideal of circumstances. In the real world there are deadlines, a budget, the whims of clients to cater to, and investors to impress. It's nice to think that perfection is possible but realistically compromisesl must be made in the real world.
