Hello
This is the site of South African designer and blogger Justin Plunkett.
Hello
I live and love design.
It's a joyful process.
It's striving to find clarity - scraping off
the superfluous.
Finding the gem.
It's simple. It's clear.
It's beautiful.
Humanistic Design
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more
Creating meaningful communication is simpler than you imagine. What makes it simpler is knowing which questions to ask in order to understand who you're targeting and how to gain their attention and trust. We are emotional beings in a world cluttered with messaging. To reach through the ruckus and engage your audience requires empathy, clarity and creativity.
Perhaps in order for us to create beautiful things, meaningful things, we need to keep ourselves wide open. We are surrounded by opportunities to see the wonder, to connect with our surroundings and the people with whom our orbits cross.
We become better designers and better people when we feel empathy. We find greater understanding of others, and with discernment, are equipped to use design to empower them and improve their lives. This, in turn, improves ours.
