Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
English term or phrase: Three hats.
Art direction is a filter for making judgments; you pass every design choice through it. Start by determining the overall emotion. All the copy, photography, UI elements, buttons, and the kitchen sink should be pinged against this ideal. I like to think of it as the Magic Kaleidoscope Looking Glass. It helps to determine which path I need to take when struggling with design decisions. —Christopher Cashdollar, Creative Director, Happy Cog. *Three hats*.

Pensavo che potesse essere la valutazione che viene data a Christoper Cashdollar, ma non sono del tutto sicura. Perché di solito si usano le "star" e non gli "hat" i quali vengono usati per valutare gli chef.

Grazie mille e buon lavoro.

"Three hats

I used to teach graphic design at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. In an assignment I borrowed from Happy Cog Creative Director Christopher Cashdollar, I had students select slips of paper from each of three hats. The first hat contained the assignment, the second hat contained various design elements, and the third hat held the art direction"
