Painting’s near and far states are akin to How and Why: the artist, when close to the canvas, is asking How questions related to craft; when he steps back, he raises Why questions concerned with the whole of the work and its purpose. Near and Far may be rephrased as Craft and Analysis, which describe the kinds of questions the artist asks while in each mode.
- Our mistake was the same as that of the creative person who places too much focus on How to create her work, while ignoring Why she is creating it. Questions about How to do things improves craft and elevates form, but asking Why unearths a purpose and develops a point of view. - The creative process, in essence, is an individual in dialogue with themselves and the work. - The artist, when ne...
- The first portion of this book concerns itself with these inner movements. - The second part of the book looks at the milieu of design: the cultural context of the work we create, the parties involved in its making, those groups’ relationships to one another, and the expected outcomes of the designer’s efforts. - The last part of the book focuses on the primacy of the audience in design.

[...] the best design has to offer much more than making problems go away. Design can also build up good, desirable artifacts, experiences, and situations that are additive forces in this world. It helps us live well by producing and elevating new kinds of value, such as engagement, participation, and happiness.
The most important advancements, the “magical” innovations we produce, happen by a visionary pulling from the outside of the adjacent possible, not pushing from the inside of it.
The relationship between form and purpose – How and Why – is symbiotic. But despite this link, Why is usually neglected, because How is more easily framed. [...] The How question is about a task, while the Why question regards the objective of the work.
