Aesthetics & design are article of trade

by | Aug 6, 2011 | Critique

Focus simply on the content and forget about aesthetics and design – If you have heard this advice from bloggers regarding blogging , I’ll rate it as most worthless suggestion.

Aesthetics and design can’t be ignored and I powerfully believe your design is a commodity just like your content.

Leonardo Da Vinci combined art, science, aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.- Ben Shneiderman

Designing has already taken a pretty good market share on the web.

“Get on to blogging and forget everything else”

That’s what I was told, when I started out. And now, I think it’s not correct. I was told to hold my creative obsession because of following reasons:

#1: You’re time will be sucked
#3: Your readers might not like It
#4: You’ll be exhausted
reading all this made me worried about what sells and what’s good right now.

Consequently I pushed design to the back benches.

I was reading about design in a book, it says design is so simple, consequently it becomes complicated. There’s no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But humans (not all) does. Each creator in fact is not only involved in aesthetics, but he’s actually trying to create his own lingo to communicate.

Designing matters are fundamental for the harmonious development. Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics.

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic. –Beatrice Wood

Do we care?

Last month I did some major changes to my CSS. Today again I felt doing so including some very prominant changes in the color theme. I designed the header a fresh from the scratch. Following are some comparison screenshots for archive purpose.
