    Design - from all angles

    A blog about design, though not in the strictest sense of the word. Personal musings of a web and graphic designer who sees the world through Pantone-colored glasses and a 960 grid.

    Umm, are you seeing things? (Unintentional design)

    Nyla Smith - Wednesday, August 10, 2011

    The funny thing about design is that it has to be perceived by people who may have very different perspectives...which opens the door to other interpretations that can sometimes leave you scratching your head. Well, guess what? This phenomenon isn't unique to graphic design...it's a part of life! Have you ever looked up at a cloud and saw a bunny rabbit, or a horse, or a face? And if you try to point it out to somebody else, they may not see what you see in that cloud...

    And if somebody said they ate a pig made out of chicken, would you believe them? Yeah, me either, but this made me look twice:

    So, the other day, my husband brought home some pears he had picked. I was sorting through them and found something that made me squeal. Yes, I said squeal. And now here I am to introduce you to a new friend of mine.

    Say hello to Sammy the Seal! (That's right, I named him.)

    Can you see it? Isn't he cute!? If you look closely, you can even see him smiling. (Try to ignore the booger in his nose; he's a little sensitive about that.) I'm thinking of making him my mascot.

    Gotta love unintentional design!
