Out of the closure of the studio walls, I began thinking about the bigger concept of 'what is good' and the different applications of the word, but first... I had to understand all of the different definitions, hopefully this would broaden my generation of ideas. Below you can see I've highlighted the more important definitions, (the rest can be found on the following link).
