Something wonderful about art. You can HATE it and it is ok.
A good designer would want his work to be hated or loved as long as you do not feel indifferent about it. Once you feel nothing for a design, it is considered mediocre. It is a failure.
Passion is the key. Enhance your self-awareness & awareness to your surroundings!
So go ahead ahead and criticize. You are also giving the designer a compliment by taking notice of their work. All said, there is not need to be rude and self-righteous about your comments.
Kindness & professionalism is still important, else it is just childish tantrums.
Most of the time we allow ourselves to be dulled by bad ideas & horrible executions.
How many times we allow ourselves to sit through a terrible TV ad without having the urge to change the channel cos it has become “ok”? Malaysian TV ma.
Have you ever bought a painting or drawing you do not feel passionate about, just because you needed to fill up a wall in the living room? Feeling no love or hate for it. Everyone has this painting, so it must be good.
Ever walked into the shop pointed at the cheapest vase you see, and bought it? Regardless that it would make your room look like a “Made in China” store. Just because you do not care about “such things”.
You’ll be amaze at what you can observe and learn when you are actually looking at something with passion instead of just being obliging.
Allow yourself to be pulled into a debate, and enjoy it.
