We all interpret things differently, so the fact that I find a field a flowers beautiful but you don’t is almost irrelevant, isn’t it? Getting it right when it comes down to interpretation is difficult, so can we get people to interpret a well-designed job the way we want? After all good design is subjective, in the right context.

This is quite a funny example of someone misinterpreting a message!

We're always told, 'don't judge a book by it's cover', excellent advice considering the metaphorical book is obviously the full story. But we always have had the tendency to judge a book by it's cover, in this day and age it feels that we actually can though. We all take pride in our appearance, just as the chef always take pride in the presentation of his masterpiece dish. And they quickly learnt in the music industry that a lot of people will buy on design, there are some fantastic album covers out!

It's great to see that good design is being recognised, read this article in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/apr/18/in-the-instagram-age-you-actually-can-judge-a-book-by-its-cover and let me know if you agree?
