jobs design dumb
I've never had a problem with a dumb client. There is no such thing as a bad client. Part of our job is to do good work and get the client to accept it.
jobs house harder
I know that being an in-house person is much, much harder than being outside...that's why I've never had a job.
culture
There's nothing in my head that's worth anything at all because it's the culture that put it there.
energy efficiency hotter
It's a vicious cycle. While systems become denser, their energy efficiency has decreased. Devices are getting smaller and smaller, but they are getting hotter.
design statements
Once you have the statement, it will design itself.
interesting problem ends
Unless you can begin with an interesting problem, it is unlikely you will end up with an interesting solution.
rejection design
Be stimulated by rejection
design arbitrary matter
No matter how many times your amazing, absolutely brilliant work is rejected by the client, for whatever dopey, arbitrary reason, there is often another amazing, absolutely brilliant solution possible. Sometimes it's even better.
art calling designer
If you haven't read Alan Fletcher's The Art of Looking Sideways you should be arrested for calling yourself a Designer
fonts faces culture
How do you do original work when culture is telling you which font face to use, which layout.
new-experiences ideas design
Counter the effects of culture (steering your design ideas) by going out and looking for new experiences.
design graphic-design forget
Forget all the rules you ever learned about graphic design.
practice needs problem
We need practice solving problems.
design truthful
When you have something truthful to say, it will design itself.
