Why I'm Scared of Design Reason #1239328

Right. Wrong. They don't exist in this world of kerning and text alignment. Instead there's a non-existant list of imaginary ideals we adhere to. It's frightening. Why? Because everything is dependant on the eye and not the brain. (Obviously we don't discount Mr Brain entirely, he has his place in the creative process, I just think Mr Eye is higher up the metaphorical food chain) There is no right answer, there is no wrong answer, there is only simply what looks right and what looks wrong and well, if you don't know the difference, you're pretty much fucked. If you told me this doesn't scare you, I'd tell you that you were lying. Right and wrong make the world go around and when you're stuck in Purgatory, it's a little mind boggling. Maybe that's exactly what design is; Purgatory. It lounges in the middle as it waits for it's inhabitants to make up their creative little minds. But perhaps it's just me, I've always been one who likes things black and white, you're either right or you're wrong and that's it. I don't like middle ground and I don't like sitting on the fence so to be in a place where the answers aren't so easily defined, yes, it's a tad frightening. Someone hold me.
