Design 101 revisited

As I reread Molly Bang's Picture This, I couldn't help but think that I was in my freshman design class learning about Albers and the basics of design. Succintly and wonderfully created into this small book,  Bang let's us peer into her thought process. I can see the reflection of my own acts of creativity, editing and elaborating on the design process, not merely settling on an initial idea. So frequently, artists settle for their first solution. Dig a bit deeper and longer and the impact of the composition improves.

I've owned this book since it was first published. Yet, after all this time, it remains timeless and valuable. Key learning - How can you distill your work down to it's crucial elements and color relationships?

    For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
