When we look at visual strategies such as the correct way to write a paper using the correct size of paper, black ink, the correct way to indent a paragraph and so on we need to also grasp the concept that there might be other correct ways to write a paper and not just rule out that something is wrong because it looks different. We need to also think the same way when we look at other things in life such as beauty and realise that just because it isn’t considered beautiful to you doesn’t mean that it isn’t to someone else. We need to learn to have an open mind at everything that we look at, whether it is written on paper or we are looking at something while driving down the road.
Whenever I attend an art show I try to look for the beauty in everything. Even though some people may consider some pieces of work not art you still have to open your mind and realise that might be just how the artist was feeling at that time and that it is still art. People have started opening their minds and realising that just because it isn’t a pretty picture that its still seen as art.
If the colors were bold red and black then it would be a more in your face page instead of the soothing black and gray. Making the stripes vertical would make the page not as crisp. Looking at the design on the top of the page and then having it then be all over the place would make it look to busy.
