Design Observer Review
The idea of failure is always scary, but if you learn to embrace failure as a learning experience then you are guaranteed to get more from the failure than if you just dwell upon it. This idea is what Matt Soar writes about in his article “Fail Again, Fail Better.” He explores the mistakes made from several designers and their reaction and way of dealing with a potential failure. Some of the accidents occurred with a malfunctioning program that distorted the image they were working on, but in the end was a more perfect connection to the project goal. Other mistake happened out of the designer’s control, but was taken light heartedly and helped the designer with ideas for future projects. Being a design student, I feel that failures, accidents, and mistakes are the only way to really grow as a designer. There will always be something that is overlooked, but with every mistake that gets pointed out you gain the knowledge of looking for that mistake in future projects. I also find that keeping failed projects or rough drafts/sketches become useful for future inspiration or used in other art projects. This was really positive article to read since it reinforces the idea that everyone makes mistakes, even famous designers.
