	title of this thread your message "The beauty of design is some like it and some do not." I always thought the beauty of design was an intention of design, one of its objectives, if you will, a part of its goal to create a functional product that is re-producible in small, or large runs for sale for sufficient profit to recover the investment, plus make some profit. But now you have raised the notion that the act of design itself, and not the things designed, have beauty. I kind of agree. But then you specify the beauty of the act of design not laying in how it is done, but in some liking the resultant product and some not. Perhaps you meant that the beauty of freedom is that it lets some like a product and others not; this logic I could agree with. Regardless, I know that if I were a designer, I would not find beauty in some liking what I do and some disliking it, unless I were perhaps a Zen master. I would seek to find, and make manifest, beauty in the solution and in the composition of materials, forms, textures, and colors that elegantly achieve an effective function that can be reproduced. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
