real issues design
Design is just language and the real issue is what you use that language to do.
differences design great-design
The difference between good design and great design is INTELLIGENCE
always-trying down-and looks
I'm always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better.
smarter
You'll never go wrong when you work with someone smarter than you.
imperfection insanity flying
I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.
hate design one-love
When you make something no one hates, no one loves it.
kids years
I like being a 10-year-old kid who's in charge.
nice moving looks
Good designers are no longer satisfied in taking the manuscript from someone and making it look nice. One of the things that I've tried to do is move from being a designer to a content provider.
isms use contrary
I use contrary-ism in every part of my life.
photography believe being-true
I believe that this whole question of some photography being true and some untrue is a non-question. Photography is not objective; it never was objective.
real communication ideas
Some people... cling to the idea that the photograph is an inherently real or honest image and as such is always on a different plane from an obviously subjective form of visual communication such as painting.
culture contradiction term
Consumer culture is contradiction in terms
important way edits
Edits are very important to me - they're the way in which I work on everything.
successful knowing perfect
The perfect state of creative bliss is having power (you are 50) and knowing nothing (you are 9). This assures an interesting and successful outcome.
