The wildetecture design wildetect rise or fall

Cape Towns a funny ol design place. Enough creative design artists to stuff into an Andy Warhol time capsule the size of 100 Titanics, cheek by jowl nogal. So when you email Cape to Poffadder all your original creative design Africa fauvistic work. The body of work might cause Creative Hooded Eye Silly Syndrome (CHESS) to start to apply for some people. Fellow designers in the trenches, viewing ones work might get complicated. This has led me to the unpacking of the 2 types of interactive creative design types conundrum. The analysis of the creative artistic design animal 1 and 2.

Creative design animal type 1.


The first type of creative is the, at ease with everything and everyones creative journey types. Mostly they are at ease with themselves really. Always full of genuine praise and encouragement to other artists trying to express themselves through creative artistic design. Even if the work being scrutinized isn't the very best. They realize creative output is just a sketch in time and the next sketch will be much better through constructive criticism. Thats if the spirit is not completely crushed. If one crushes creative artistic design spirit you relegate the most sensitive of minds, to a life under a bridge in muizenberg. Creative type 1 to my mind, is the creative that can actually create. Is actually the real deal. Humans are powerful when working in unison and as a collective  through mutual respectful collaboration- However we are weak when creating in a critically dominant environment. Creative type 1 encourages passion and artistic growth through mutual creative design respect.

Creative design animal type 2.


The second type of creative to my mind is the absolute critic creative -  Hates and criticizes most things not done by themselves. Pretty vitriolic about others work and basically trashes everything they deem inferior, which is just about everything and everyone elses work. The, i could have done this much better than that pretend pseudo creative brigade. The PPCB, This type of creative in my experience (very limited yes) is definitely not about nurturing ideas and creative design talent. Its about crushing spirit rather than lifting it up. They try hide their no talent, trying to mask zippo the horse creativity by speaking from an authoritarian design platform. Most often than not , they bully creative type 1 into weaving together the creative design concepts they plagiarize. which they unashamedly rip off or steal as their own. They are heavily invested in AI as a quick concept elixir as they dont have raw design ideas or creative artistic skills themselves. True dat.

The approach wildetecture is employing whilst trying to be all singing all creative design dancing. Infront of both types of creative 1 design growers and the creative 2 crushers of the world. The approach thus far has been a design concept experiment in engagement. Because creating dialogue using conceptual design ideas is always going to lead to animated debate. We use AI however the percentage difference between conceiving the design idea and the render of the idea is 75% human conceptual vs 25% AI render. Currently there AI technicians that are 95% AI driven and 5% human mind input. Im a blood sweat  and tears human design creative practioner. I want my design creative engaged outcome end products to be, principly mind shaken not AI stired. 

So whether we just flash in the pan Cape Town creative design  ego hacked out maniacs. Lack lustre hob "design" goblin knobs? Who the heck knows or even really cares. It is important to know this next fact however, sure as the blue blazers and blistering blue barnicles, we sure gonna make enough wildetecture creative design noise before the damn door knocks us on the way out!! Eat my shorts & hat, creative design animal 2?
