In fact. I think logos do more to differentiate art departments than anything the artists actually do.

19 Feb 15:45

Indeed.

I disagree, I only know it's Blizzard if there's a character I recognise or a big blue logo in the corner.

Heyyy

so they must have something unique about their art/design.

19 Feb 15:41

Jonas Jerde

when you look at blizzard though.. you know it's blizzard almost right away

19 Feb 15:41

Finnjamin

Hmm, I guess that's true too.

The pure meaning of unique doesn't really exist.

19 Feb 15:40

Jonas Jerde

I've seen some unique designs definitely, they obviously have a base off of other things... but doesn't everything?

19 Feb 15:39

Finnjamin

Like look at Blizzard, there are almost no mouthwatering original designs from that entire art department. But they are great artists.

19 Feb 15:37

Finnjamin

Yeah, took ages, fixed my carpal tunnel problems though! And are their designs really ever -that- unique

your ambidextrous?

19 Feb 15:36

Jonas Jerde

--

yeah, and the great artists have great design.. which is why not all humans could create a masterpiece

19 Feb 15:36

Finnjamin

I swear, since becoming ambidextrous I've lost literacy skill

I think in a Scott Robertson interview he mentioned that he taught fundamentals to people and witnessed frequently that when they mastered those, it was their designs that individualisedd him.

19 Feb 15:34

Finnjamin

That's is totally inarguable.

19 Feb 15:32

Jonas Jerde

I could draw the most scientifically accurate spoon and nobody would care

19 Feb 15:31

Jonas Jerde

--

that is true for the fundamentals yes, I'm not sure about design though...

19 Feb 15:30

It's years of dedication that allows you to see objectively. When you remove the emotion from art and treat it like a science it becomes easier to learn.

19 Feb 15:29

Jonas Jerde

yeah were cool man :p

19 Feb 15:29

Finnjamin

--

And thanks for the defence, fsg!

19 Feb 15:29

Jonas Jerde

--

its years of hard work and dedication that creates masterpieces... not good reference.

19 Feb 15:29

Finnjamin

But we're cool :)

19 Feb 15:28

Well the implication of defecation seemed out of place to me, dude

19 Feb 15:28

Jonas Jerde

--

Just seemed a little out of place to me is all

19 Feb 15:28

Jonas Jerde

--

im not trying to insult you dude

19 Feb 15:28

Finnjamin

--

But thanks for trying to read the most unreasonable meaning. Makes communicating on the internet so much fun.

19 Feb 15:27

Finnjamin

--

I should have said "any human", I was trying to imply that objectively there's no reason you could not create a masterpiece, therefore the blockade is mental.

19 Feb 15:26

Jonas Jerde

and I don't really see that from Daarken anyways.

If I was to shit on him I'd have said "Nnnggghh" Because that's the noise I make when I shit.
