On Doing

What is design to do with?

Everything?

In the past three weeks, I’ve traveled the learning curve of electronics with a lot of joy, with an indescribable sense of naivety and with the feeling that is very important to my future career development. However, I feel that could be said almost of anything regarding design.

Is it so? Is it true that a designer should be kind of proficient in everything, but excel in nothing?

It’s funny, but the more design (at least in Stanford) tries to escape from Art, the more I find that what they want to achieve can only be achievable trough Art. Or at least, that only artists have made something out of such a complex equation they are trying us to manage. I have the feeling that there is more to learn from that world, where complexity is not crumbled but clashed.
