Janet went with collage for September. The line under my name says: The imaginative use of space and weight in this alphabet makes it delightfully elegant and subtle.
I keep forgetting to ask Janet for details on her educational background in art. I suspect she's had some classes in design. She's skilled at drawing as well as composition - or design. Design is such a broad concept - which is why I am continuing with the topic.
Everyone has heard of an interior designer or fashion designer - so I think *design* is often associated with 3D. But, we've all heard of graphic designers - and that's 2D - but it is also very much associated with *commercial art* - and to some people, if it is *commercial* it's not *fine art.*
When I was in college 1969-1972 - the major for graphic design was called commercial art. I do not recall when the label switched over to graphic design. Either way, it will never solve the debate over whether art that is created for commercial purposes is *less than* fine art. Enough for today - will continue this topic tomorrow.
This eyeball was on the back of the postcard - and is a reference to the words on the front of the postcard about the woman who has done *half an eyeball.* That is one fine eyeball, Janet.
