form vs. substance.

(form vs. substance = artistic prowess)


form: the manner or style of arranging and coordinating parts for a pleasing or effective result, as in literary or musical composition: a unique form for the novel.

substance: the subject matter of thought, discourse, study, etc.
the actual matter of a thing, as opposed to the appearance or shadow; reality. substantial or solid character or quality: claims lacking in substance.


Two basic structures determine the quality of your work. Its aesthetic, outer appearance, packaging, or form. And its philosophy, vision, pathology, or substance.

.........Its heart vs. brains. Good work is a "go between" of the two.
