Design Imaginations

 

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

Design is a natural process. There is no need for rules or laws if you are cognizant of the strength of the components and their impact upon the whole. The final product will simply work and be found to be appropriate for the situation at hand.

All forms must function within their own constraints. A cat cannot be a dog, or a guitar a saxophone. However, the capacity to imagine allows us to freely create, synthesize and integrate these virtual formations in our mind. Our mind brokers the format in which creative thought and imagery can be considered and virtually realized.

Our imagination allows for free association and an appreciation for the symbolic power of design. In essence, our imagination harbors our subjective interpretation of consciousness and all that it may imply. Creativity requires a change in the underlying way in which you think. Creativity requires an altered point of view that is freely acceptable within the realm of the imagination without the fear of discrimination or judgment.

"Reason alone does not suffice."
Carl Jung
The Undiscovered Self (1958)

However, design consciousness requires much more than just a creative imagination, but also the desire and determination to see these imaginings made manifest and enter the world of relative form. Changing our thoughts through our imagination likewise changes how we feel about those thoughts and especially the forms that symbolically represent them. Design consciousness requires an active imagination and an open willingness to change.

How Imagination Fuels Empathy and Prosocial Behavior

Design consciousness is inherently altruistic in character and strives to be all-inclusive. All images have meaning, but not all images are as purposeful. Implying that the creative source from which these imaginings come forward seems to stem from the needs and desires of the heart more so than the mind.
