Design Success
Here is an example of a successful design of a lounge chair. You can see that the visual perception of this chair is high. The color and shape visually grab us and make us want to sit in this chair. The contours suggest that this chair is very comfortable and appealing. The balance of this chair is strong at the base of the chair, it is visually balanced to the viewer, but the shape of the actual chair is a bit out of balance which gives it an interesting look. The main shape of the chair is stressed to make it visually stimulating. It has many diagonal contours to really stress the shape and the appearance of this design. The stress in this chair is what makes the design so interesting to look at. This design uses sharpening to its advantage, the chair is trying to grab your attention and establish focus. His chair also uses a positive role to dominate the visual structure of this design. This are all reasons why this design is a success in relation to syntactical guidelines.
In this image we see a chair design that fails in relation to syntactical guidelines. The first problem is the visual perception, the odd color schemes and funky looking shapes of this chair. It is not appealing to look at, and it also looks very uncomfortable to sit in. The colors chosen for this design are very bizarre and give off an unappealing visual. This design is visually not balanced, it gives off an a look that is visually awkward. The designer was going for a dynamic stressed look but it comes out unappealing and creates tension to the viewer. The designer was also going for a sharpening effect but in this case it's just too much visually for the viewer, the chair grabs your attention in all the wrong ways. It makes this chair look incredibly uncomfortable and visually ugly. It is for these reasons that this design is a failure to syntactical guidelines.
