Isn't it just a design?

When you look at this picture, you can almost hear someone say, "Isn't it just a design?"。At the same time, we can hear voices from designers saying, ``What is ``just'' in ``just a design?''。

myself too、I think this is "before design"。Most designs have a clear (social)、have a commercial purpose。on the other hand、(Modern) paintings do not have a purpose in that sense, but、Deepening the author's personal meaning of survival、By creating a “feeling of incongruity with society” (in a broad sense), it becomes a force that promotes social change.。If it's a painting、Quite flimsy、You'll feel like you don't have that kind of power anywhere.、hey。

yes、It's "flimsy"。What people look for in “paintings (art)” is the depth of “life” and “philosophy”、Maybe it feels heavy、This is extremely "flimsy"。``To call this a ``painting'' itself、"It shows how shallow you are."。That's most reasonable.。

I don't mind any objections.。But、It's bad for your health、Please calm down and lower your blood pressure.、It's easy to hold back for a while (I don't have to pay for my patience)。

hang out with a computer

Practicing the Illustrator app today too。I spent all morning yesterday and today unable to make anything.。It takes a long time to research each tool、It's quite tiring。To make matters worse, walking yesterday made my leg hurt the other day worse.。Walking for a few days”my jisyu”is。

When I go to my computer every day、Naturally, I gradually started to understand more about computers.。You will start to think about how you interact with your computer.。If you think of your computer as a friend、It's rare to have such a talented and reliable friend.。Besides,、No matter how impossible the challenge is, I won't get angry.、Intrusive and dumb。Ms. Mori also doesn't say things like, ``Meetings with women are long.''、It would have been much better to get used to online meetings.。

I got off track, but、“Being able to understand computers” does not mean being able to use them.。Difference between computer and me、It means that you will start to feel the difference in ways of thinking.。Hardware for PC、The history of software developers、I also have life experience、This is the standard for each other's current thinking and actions.。If we don't acknowledge that difference, we can't begin.。If you approach the way of thinking of a computer, the computer will work obediently.、If you think differently, it will be awkward.。same as humans。

on the other hand、In a sense, computers are "society" itself.。You can say "the world"。No longer “imaginary”、it's already a reality。What if buying side dishes at the supermarket was a reality?、Buying a refrigerator using a computer is also a reality.。If taking classes at school is a reality、It is also a reality that teachers study on computers.。Are you in charge of how you interact with your computer?、looks like it's hanging there。what is important to me、How can I be happy?、If computers are useful for that purpose, then we should become friends.、If you don't need it, there's no problem if you can't use it.。That's still more reality、has not become reality。

practice a little、easily dented

"Logo mark practice" (I tried using the Adobe tutorial as a model)

There is a big app called "Illustrator"。It already has a long history that can be called a long-established app store.。I'm just an illustrator、I've heard that learning is almost essential for (human) illustrators.。Actually, I bought it over 20 years ago.。It's too difficult to do anything、I left it alone for about ten years、For the past few years, I've only been contracted for one month a year.、A “precipice app” that was only used for creating DMs。

I started it again yesterday。I signed a one-year contract late last year.、It's already been 3 months in vain。It wasn't like I was always slacking off.、At the same time, I purchased more than a dozen new and old apps at once, so I couldn't handle it all.。I also bought a tablet called iPad Air 4.、I was determined to use the coronavirus as an opportunity to partially change myself.。Computer every morning、fiddling with the tablet、Playing around with an app you've never seen before、I finally tried Photoshop and Illustrator again for the “Cliff App”。

If you try it、It takes several times more than expected to remember one thing.、It takes dozens of times longer。For example, as an exercise for creating a logo in the photo above.、Almost all day from 8am。It was 11pm when I was able to do it.。If you can do it, it will take less than 10 minutes.。It's embarrassing though、Still seems pretty normal。Even if you watch the video repeatedly, you still can't figure it out、I grab my son at mealtime and listen to him.。He solves the problem smoothly by repeating the screen a few times.。It takes less than a few minutes。After 10 minutes of explanation 3 times, he leaves.。Even after listening to it 3 times, I still get "..."、Take that as a hint and stick with it for a few more hours.。Attach a photo in the give-up email and ask again。律儀にメールを返してくれるのが申し訳ないなんでこんなことやろうと考えてしまったのかと反芻しているうちに、Somehow I managed to do it...。

「絵が描けなくても生きていけるけど、"If I can't use a computer (smartphone), I won't be able to go shopping or go to the hospital (in the very near future)," my son says.。Considering the fact that the number of unmanned convenience stores is actually increasing.、I think we are in a period of transition to that kind of world.。But、The earth is not flat enough that it flows evenly.、I also think。

I bought an image/video app、The reason why I am trying each one of them is、It is not necessarily just trying to respond to such reality (or not).。existing oil painting、This is also because I feel the limits of watercolor painting and other techniques.。It's difficult、(It can't be said that it is cheap considering the cost of equipment) Even if there is a cost、Computer drawing apps are excellent art supplies.。And it continues to evolve every day。You are free to like it or dislike it.、I can't ignore it anymore。
