Most of what design does to you happens before you’ve had time to think about it.

We tend to talk about design in terms of taste, style, or preference, even though attention has already been steered by the time those opinions form. That gap matters because it explains why some things feel instantly clear, others feel oddly hard work, and nobody can quite say why. The episode sits inside everyday moments where visuals succeed or fail quietly, without ever being named or questioned. It sharpens awareness of the forces shaping meaning long before language gets involved.

Once you notice that, “just looking” doesn’t quite hold up. Understanding design is where the fun, and the power, begins.
