OUGD601 - RESEARCH - Why Designing By Hand Still Matters

WHY DESIGNING BY HAND STILL MATTERS:

- using your hands stimulates brain activity. Studies show that increased brain activity occurs when you write by hand versus on the computer.
- making things with your hand yields personalised results. No one can reproduce the work you make, because it comes uniquely from you.
- making things by hand gives less control. Imperfections become part of the work and add visual interest.
- in contrast, making things by hand also gives you more control. You aren't tied to the capabilities of the software you are using.
- physically, it's better for you. Manual processes involve your whole body, versus the static state we are in when we work at a computer.
