Mr. T
What is my reason for stating that “I can do it better”?What is my reason for adopting Michelangelo’s motto?
“Good Design Versus
Better Design”Overarching question:
How do you know what is good or bad if you do not reflect upon the characteristics that attract you to or repel you from an item?
My goal/objective is to be able to critically analyze what senses the body and mind experience to trigger the feelings we get that
allow us to like or dislike whatever we are experiencing.
