The Dubyts Com. Dangerous Dames

event on, Feb. 27th. We didn't bowl well enough to get us into the
bowlers winner circle. But we were a part of a bigger winner's circle,
the one that helped raise over $50,000 for local programming for
Winnipeg children.

As I watched my daughter's dance recital I got
to thinking that dance is a lot like design.
STYLE: There are many different
styles. Dance: The waltz,
the rumba, salsa, hip hop, ballet, jazz, modern, etc. Design: Modern,
traditional, conservative, minimalist, grunge, elegant, etc.
MEDIUM: The foundation upon which each is
expressed is unique and varied. Dance:
In dance the music is central to its expression and is as varied as the
style of dance. Design:
Graphic design mediums include anything from print, electronic, video,
outdoor, promotional, etc.
THE
PERFORMANCE Dance:
For every discipline each dancer has their own style, character and
passion. No two dancers are the same, which is why shows like, "Dancing
with the Stars," are so popular. Design: There are so many combination's of color,
fonts, white space and graphics that unless a design has intentionally
been copied, no two designs are the same. They should be as unique as
the people / companies they are created for.
THE AUDIENCE: The final piece of
the equation is the viewer or audience. Dance: Different types of dance appeal to different
people. I like jazz and hip hop. You might enjoy ballet or salsa. Design: The same applies to design.
Some like minimalist, some prefer grunge and others prefer conservative.
Some like red, some like blue and others like brown.
The
similarities between dance and design are interesting and noteworthy.
What can you take away? Appreciate the differences within, and
similarities between these two artistic forms of expression . . . and
more importantly, when you're evaluating design, understand that it can
take on many, many different looks and while you may not like what you
see, the design must resonate with the most important critic . . . your
customer. |

You may have
noticed the obvious misspelling of the word Danz in this edition. No
mistake. This is simply our lead in to announce the launch of another
new and fabulous website -- Monica's Danz Gym. www.MonicasDanzGym.com
We had as much
fun creating this website as the dancers have at Monica's Danz Gym.
Owned by Olympic Gymnast, Monica Goermann, Monica's is truly a unique
dance studio
offering Aerial Danz, Hoop and Trapeze and other fun and interesting
classes like Clowning Around and Acro. Check out Monica's new website and
some
of the fun summer programs she's offering.
