It Isn’t Always What You Think

Posted on 01/01/2012 by admin

I remember my first lesson about fine art being about the manipulation and painting of light, and not so much the ‘object’ being painted. I was reminded of this recently learning the processes and considerations of typesetting a book because I came at the design from the point of view of the writer, looking at the words, but from a typesetting viewpoint the design of a page depends upon the margins and the white space around the shapes of the letters.

I realise that the individual human brain learns things a certain way and because they work for the person – they give a measure of survivability – those ways of thinking are hard to break, especially as you age and they becomes your automatic ways of thinking. In fact given all the different ways of thinking – which at the moment range around the seven billion mark and apparently will attain the twenty billion living brains before we reach an equilibrium- only have one is rather minuscule.

But at least by continually learning you can gather some thoughts from the experiences of others and in a world of more and more people, being able to think through problems several different ways will become more and more important.
