“By definition “design” IS NOT subjective. The visual aesthetic can be “liked” or “disliked” since lets face it, not every one has the same taste in color, imagery and so on. However, true design be it interactive, architecture, furniture, product etc is based on the simple premise of solving a problem. I’m not saying that the solution shouldn’t be beautiful, but judging a design solution simply on its aesthetic merits is circumventing the entire purpose of design. At its heart a design solution either solves a problem or it doesn’t, meaning there is absolutely nothing subjective or perceived.”
