About design and making things

Surankiota iš forumų/diskusijų apie dizainą. Plakatai grupėms vs. "normalus dizainas" (2,3). Tam, kad nepasimestų. Tam, kad nebijočiau pasakyt kiek pinigų noriu už savo darbus (1). Tiesiog.

(1) "How long did it take you to paint this picture?" One hour... plus 35 years. (Sylvio Gagnon)

(2) "If you want a job as a professional graphic designer, do not show me a porfolio full of posters you designed for a band. Any designer worth his salt can do a “cool” band poster. I expect that you can. It is a given. End of conversation.
I want to know if you can do real client work. Can you do a cool bank poster? Can you do a cutting-edge logo for a delivery company? Can you get me excited about engines? Blow me away with your annual report for the dog food company."

(3) “Making something look cool for a band is easy, because bands are cool. If you can make something for a boring company look as exciting as something for a band, then you’ve got it. Just because you don’t see cool design for banks (for example) doesn’t mean it can’t be done, it only means it hasn’t.”
