What people will say about me then - or maybe not say - will be the only thing that finally counts
I think the key difference between the web and print medium is, on the web or any digital medium, you're dealing with this added element of behavior.
Unsolicited redesigns are terrific and fun and useful, and I hope designers never stop doing them. But as they do so, I also hope they remember it helps no one - least of all the author of the redesign - to assume the worst about the original source and the people who work hard to maintain and improve it, even though those efforts may seem imperfect from the outside.
Even though the means of production are more available than ever, I think the true expertise is as rare as ever.
The way I look at my job, I spend a lot of time trying to create the conditions for good design to happen and I don't get an opportunity to do a lot of hands on work.
I think there's a huge - there's a huge desire in me to make sense of the world in a way that I think you can trace back to that early disruption, this idea of wanting to compensate for that really kind of traumatic experience and sort of seeing its impact on my immediate and extended family.
I think the way design was practiced for most of the 20th century was very declarative. A designer came up with a solution for a project and put it in place and shipped the solution and it landed in a reader or a customer's hands as a brochure. They would see it as a poster, or as a piece of signage. And that was sort of it. That was the end of it. I think Internet technology has really upended that whole equation because in some ways a designer's work is never really done online.
You might be a redneck if somebody hollers ho-down and your girlfriend hits the floor.
The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats allow the poor to be corrupt, too.
I think there was a revolution in poetry, associated chiefly with Eliot and Pound; but maybe it is of the nature of revolutions or of the nature of history that their innovations should later come to look trivial or indistinguishable from technical tricks.
The morning glory which blooms for an hour differs not at heart from the giant pine, which lives for a thousand years.
