Art evokes a response,

Design is an intent to evoke the response,

The website that I have chosen to write about is www.oculart.com At first this website appears to be merely a gallery of a persons artistic creations that are accompanied by an eerie digital soundtrack. After playing around with the site it becomes clear that when one enlarges and decreases the windows size the images change. Specific elements stay where they are while others move around which in turn change the artwork. This work is based around fundamental Flash design rules. A person has thought about what they want to achieve and used the appropriate tools to achieve this. The works evoke a response from the audience, be that annoyance from the audio files or fascination by the forever changing patterns and invigorating colors.

So, in keeping with the question, I feel that this project was only achievable by having a design intent which specified something along the lines that they wanted 'moving colorful patterns to change as the viewer changes the window size'. Though with saying that, the artist would also have had to pay special attention to the colors, how they compliment each other or don’t and how to best evoke a response.
