## Observation of Senses Sense organs are which contact the world. Here, in this document, I am taking a note of everything I notice while pondering over senses. ### 1. Sight - Sight takes the most of the mind space. - It takes good amount of attention and effort to synthesize and can only be experienced fully when processed in terms of text, shapes, colours and hierarchy. - **IMP:** Creativity when expressed on screen or as sight, consumes a lot more mental energy to produce and that's where design and art should converge. - You see design is more on the functionality and art is more inclined towards expression. Nailing a good visual which is positioned as a treat for the eyes, needs to be a blend of both to earn the worthy appreciations of the human eyes. Because who are you ultimately making it for? :) - If what is expression to sound, like communication, and we want to express it visually, we need to make sure that the visuals we produce are understandable on a communicable level for people to understand. It can further have languages like with speaking, but should definitely abide by the norms to be accessible. ### 2. Hear - Sound: Hearing or Listening is more spatial, it requires less cognition and can be processed subconsciously. - Like music for example, it need not be processed fully, but it can be enjoyed and experienced subconsciously. - It could also invoke emotions, bring delight or - Hearing is also fluid, what I mean is, we not just hear sound, we also produce sound (to communicate) and engage others to it on a day to day level, its a gift. ### 3. Smell - Smell is the most passive of all, its very subtle and leaves an impression. - It's either pleasant, unpleasant or straight off transcendent. ### 4. Taste - The most delightful of all, it savours the inner soul, keeps us fuelled for good. - It dominates on emotional front and has an oscillatory effect which directly influences the mood, yum! ### 5. Touch - The most taken for granted sense, often - It gives us a knack of all: hot or cool, hard or soft, clicky or mushy, rough or smooth, and the list goes on.
