These fingers have finally begun to tip-toe the keys, printing recognizable language and this after setting up three previous unrealized accounts. In every earlier attempt, the blank white screen had left me a blank head, intimidating me; leaving me with the following predicament : 'Choosing' to write 'something'.
Marking my Territory :
Since I've spent quite few years of my life training as a product designer, and because I know little else, all my ramblings shall, irrevocably be funneled through 'a' design perspective.....
DESIGN BAIT
a BAIT is :
Something that attracts, especially with the promise of pleasure or reward: allurement, come-on, enticement, inducement, invitation, lure, seduction, temptation. Something that leads one into a place or situation from which escape is difficult: lure, snare, trap. To excite (another) by exposing something desirable while keeping it out of reach: tantalize, tease.
the BAIT
Any decision to undertake a design activity ( independent of the inevitability of broke-dom) often starts with an 'idea', a design 'instinct' that starts tingling oft a mere suggestion, while the brain sparking possibilities, gears up for the adrenalin, turning stray opportunity into a great design. And that which ignites, is DESIGN BAIT.
and for me as a designer as well as a user - the right BAIT is irrepressible.
