Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.
I completely agree with this but I think it also puts into question what the definition of good/bad design is to begin w. Like what is this bad design that we are conditioned to prefer?
The whole difference between construction and creation is that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists
The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring
