By acquiring some understanding and familiarity with the process and result of abstraction, we can intelligently organize elements in the visual spaces that we create and engage. The more we understand the process and the result, the better able we are to control what we create. When we acquire skill and appreciation, we find fascination in witnessing the process of abstraction as evidenced by others. In time, we can admire it in our own work as well. Abstract logic might not seem pertinent to visual design, but its profound influence on content development make it crucial to understand.
Simple logic is easy.
It gives us clear deductions. The heat from the sun warms us. In stages, we subsequently move from the simple to the complex. These extensions of logical deductions get pretty complex. We abstract them.
