Milton Glaser, designer: This Is What I Have Learned I am going to tell you everything that I know about the practice of design. It is a sort of collage of bits and pieces that I have assembled over 50 years. It includes a lot of things I've said before but I've repackaged them rather attractively. This is what I've learned. YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE NEVER HAVE A JOB SOME PEOPLE ARE TOXIC AVOID THEM PROFESSIONALISM IS NOT ENOUGH or THE GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF THE GREAT LESS IS NOT NECESSARILY MORE (Just enough is more) STYLE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED HOW YOU LIVE CHANGES YOUR BRAIN (Drawing makes you attentive) DOUBT IS BETTER THAN CERTAINTY SOLVING THE PROBLEM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING RIGHT TELL THE TRUTH (incl 12 steps in the Road to Hell) 8:31:19 AM     comments
