COOKIE.

Cookie, with design! This picture inspired me not only because the special design of its form, but also the color scheme and the picture quality. Many thoughts come to me when I see it. I first start with the heart shape in the middle that is very recognizable. Then the sand sugar surrounding it has creates the illusion of clear crystal snow, with those shinny dots. I get the sense of fairytale, an innocent world built by pure love. Going further, the dark blue background could be read as sea. Then there is an icy world floating on the sea. At this point, the composition of the picture is becoming very important and successful, because the object feels raised out of the picture, visually making the viewer feel that the picture is a zoomed part of the entire space. The unlimited space tells the viewer there is more going on around the picture, even it is not physically portrayed. Consequently, back into my understanding, the sea would be a lot huger then what we have in the picture; I can even imagine it stretching as far as my eye can’t see.

Moving away from imagination, what do I see here? A cookie. It is still a piece of cookie. But the point is, when I think about the design, and look at it deeply, I start to explore ideas and travel into them farther and farther, this is the magic of design. And of course, this magic is everywhere rather than on a piece of cookie. Design is a world of imagination, and everyone can experience it as well.
