If you can design one thing…

If you can design one thing…

This sums up my view on design quite neatly – design isn’t a set of skills, it’s a way of thinking. So if you can master “design thinking” then the medium becomes largely irrelevant. Or as Vignelli is quoted here, “If you can design one thing you can design everything”.

The image is from this year’s Art Directors Club “Festival of Fame” speaker series. It was designed by Pentagram’s Michael Bierut, a Hall of Fame inductee in 2003, and Joe Marianek, a winner of this year’s ADC Young Guns 8. See more here.

What is this?

From time to time I like to share my thoughts about design, links to good articles or projects and the work of other designers. I keep this journal to remind me of interesting things. Hopefully you will find it interesting too.
