Blog | Design is Sweet Wallpaper

My partner, David, and I were discussing design the other day. I know there are a plethora of books on design theory. There are also a multitude of design articles written, as well as a profusion of high-brow design discussions among the hallowed halls of the big boys. But, we still couldn’t actually define to our own satisfaction good design. It seems like there are so many styles, schools and theories, that who can say theirs is actually the best?

Our conversation led to a series of statements that seemed to ring true: design is passionate; design is elegant; and so on and so forth. We then relaxed into the game and whimsy set in: design became good for your health, sweet, powerful, whimsical (of course) and many other things, all of which invoked images in our mind.

The decision was then made to draw a series based on “Design Is”. David started with “Design is Good for Your Health”, which set the tone: sexy chicks! Since I specialize in pin-ups, the heat was on. My first contribution, as you see here, is “Design is Sweet”. Sugar pie honey bunch, man, that is Swe-e-e-e-e-et!

If you have any good ideas about what “design is”, you are welcome to share. By all means, suggest an image. In the meantime Beta Images hopes to surprise and thrill you with our next round of design pin ups.
