Is it Ever Really Finished?

in the designer's mind it is arguable that a design ever really reaches its fullest potential within a given timeframe. This is a great struggle between desired outcomes and realizable results. That isn't to say that perfection shouldn't be a goal. Just understanding that it is highly unlikely. Especially since my/ or your perfection is most likely different. And I know it is very hard to reach one's own ideal. No matter what there is always room to fix that microscopic failure that is glaring you in the face. The realistic goal in this case should be to get the "thing" to a point that makes sense rather than the endless search for perfection. Getting a design to a point that makes "sense" takes practice, repetition, and a lot of failure. I've come to the realization that "failure" is the fun part about making. If you learn the right ways to make mistakes they become nothing more than planned failures within a given framework. What I mean by that is that an "undesired" outcome in a specific instance, placed with a "desired" outcome over time will balance each other out. The more these actions happen in tandem and the more experienced one becomes in improvising these actions together, the better the outcomes become. It is what process is all about. The push and pull of experience, knowledge, failure, and success repeated over and over again till the outcome finally makes sense. After scouring the depths of  design for the past 3+ months I have given myself room to let stick : stick and let be forgotten : be forgotten. I figured the best way to do this was get back to the use of the hands away from all the technology stuff I was emerged in. So I have taken back the reins of the intuitive painting process and put down the reins of the systematic design process. My goal is to keep moving with in a direction where sum of the process is the desired outcome whatever that may be. It is much easier to accept then a planned outcome that is never fully realized.

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
