Being a Critic.

I've learned that studying graphic design, typography, and design in general... makes you a critic, not by choice, but automatically.
Everything around us is a design element... words, colors, texture, building structures, items, etc....
even the computer you're looking at. [;
Being a major of art, I'm constantly looking around and judging the things I see.
I may like them, I may hate them, but I have a clear opinion.
And hey, if I don't like it, I'm obviously not the audience the company was seeking out,
if I'm attracted to it, it's a totally different story.
Fact is, if you're a real artist, or designer... You're a critic of all that is around you.
And even more a critic to yourself, and your own work.
