ABSTRACT
Whatever the scale of operation, lighting, like any other design process, is based upon a sequence of logical management decisions which provide a framework for creative imagination to flourish. Ideas develop in a designer's subconscious, planted there in the long term by the experience of looking at life through their own and other peoples eyes and, more immediately, by immersion in the details of the particular production currently under design. It is inevitable that many creative decisions will be illogical (that's what makes them creative!) but they have to be taken in a logical sequence.
