Abstract
The person who has crafted an object and the person who is judging that object may feel inadequate in expressing their knowledge of what constitutes a well-designed piece of work. The artisan may unconsciously have done the right thing in the right way, and the judge may have developed an unerring ability to recognize that quality, but neither one may be able to say why the object in question is well-designed or why some other object is not. Standards or levels of excellence are usually explained in words. Ratings on that basis are set up in words, and possibly numerical points or percentages, on scorecards. Words often mean one thing to one person and something else to someone else. To be able to judge creatively, a person must have an awareness of design quality gained through experience which makes the words have a definite meaning for him or her, hopefully, the same meaning they have for other people connected with the creating and judging process. Illustrated. 24 pages.
