isms use contrary
I use contrary-ism in every part of my life.
model society tries
We live in a society and a culture and an economic model that tries to make everything look right.
agent change face future government immediate less social time
Let's face it: we live at a time when government is less and less powerful, less and less effective, and the agent of social change, at least for the immediate future, is the corporation.
stars color want
If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way - as I did in the beginning at 'Colors' - then I'm going to do it.
stories use
I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.
knowing
To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.
children reality understanding-knowledge
Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You'll miss them forever.
flying planes unpredictability
We don't talk about planes flying. We talk about them crashing.
sound boring
I'm not against beauty, it just sounds boring to me.
perspective appreciated moments
Perspective is a moment in time that cannot be fully appreciated until that moment has passed.
communication thinking skills
What is said determines who listens and who understands. Graphic design is a language, but graphic designers are so busy worrying about the nuances - accents, punctuation and so on - that they spend little time thinking about what the words add up to. I’m interested in using our communication skills to change the way things are.
matter language speak
No matter what your cultural sophistication or what language you speak, everyone can understand images.
ideas style ifs
If you don't have an idea, all you have is style.
people giving information
Pictures are so good at giving people information that they're not looking for.
