The moment clients realize that revisions are not an all-you-can-eat buffet, suddenly they realize they are not hungry.
A designer…has the true responsibility to give his audiences not what they think they want, for this is almost invariably the usual, the accustomed, the obvious, and hence, the unspontaneous. Rather, he should provide that quality of thought and intuition which rejects the ineffectual commonplace for effectual originality.
Applied good taste is a mark of good citizenship. Ugliness is a from of anarchy.. ugly cities, ugly advertising, ugly lives produce bad citizens.
Anyone interested in design must be interested in other fields of expression - theater, ballet, photography, literature, music.
