IMAGINE NATION

Design revolves around our imaginations, or "thinking outside the box". New designs need to pop out and "wow" the audience. Make them have a second look and have them think about the designs. The more "different" the design is from other designs, the more we tend to stare at the design and go "hmmm...what does this design mean?" The more people staring/thinking at your design, the more "successful" your design is.

As we look at this picture, we find it fascinating that this picture seems so REAL! The tearing up of the artwork serves as a rhythm to flow the viewers' eyes in and out of the drawing. The creativity of this piece "wowed" me the first time i saw it. Having the person in the drawing taping back the torn up drawing is ingenious. This is "thinking outside the box!"

Designers/artists manipulate this "wow factor" in order to capture attention. In order to find this "wow factor" they have to use their imaginations and create different/unique projects for the audience to go "WOW! that is awesome! I would've never thought of that!" We live in a world where all kinds of imaginations are possible, or what I like to call it, the Imagine Nation.
