165 - The 10 Commandments of Graphic Design - Part 2

Subscribe: ITUNES | ANDROID | STITCHER | RSS FEED I consider some of the most important things to think about as a designer. Scribbled Shownotes These points have been taken from Irving Younger’s fantastic YouTube video about the 10 commandments of cross-examination.  I took them, and fashioned them for design, because amazingly a lot of them cross over. Yesterday: Be brief. Be straightforward. Use as little design as possible like Dieter Rams said.  Use plain words. Don’t try to get too clever. Use only leading questions. Know what you want to communicate and communicate it.  Be prepared. Be prepared.  Listen. Listen.  Today: Do not quarrel. Sometimes quarrel. Don’t be a Yes Designer. The best ideas are hidden behind the average ones.  Never stop learning. Don’t rely on inspiration. It makes you a weaker designer. Work hard and be nice to people.
