@Heather-Boyd I'm running through this, too, to maybe do a group class with people!
This is what I'm picking up from the clip and the notes.
Subjective: has to do with feeling, emotion, and what looks cool.
Objective: Has to do with what 'IS', so what something would ACTUALLY look like.
So if you design something subjectively, you're going for more of a feeling (I need this house to look spooky, menacing, looming) and this method's useful if you're only going to be seeing something once, or not from a lot of angles.
If you design something objectively, you work to figure out what it would ACTUALLY look like. This is when you bust out the horizon and perspective and make sure everything lines up, make sure all the doors and windows line up, etc. This method's useful if you need to look at the object from multiple angles, or maybe if you have really strict design needs? I think
So I suppose...
Subjective: Design it to look cool.
Objective: Design it to look correct (real)
