Everyone looks at things but very few people see effectively. Designers must be able to see. Seeing means a trained super-awarness of visual codes like shape, colour, texture, pattern and contrast. These codes make a language of vision, much as words are building blocks for verbal language.

Every human act is a response to a personal need. The motivation for all personal behaviour is to produce a sense of “feel good”, a sense of inner peace and well being.
