‘We live in, arguably, a fantastic time to be in the design profession. The pages of STEP, Wallpaper, ID and HOW simply drip with hot, new, young influential designers who do cool stuff. They thrill us with their revolutionary aesthetics, impress us with their multimillion-dollar design/snowboarding/music businesses, and how they just won a plum contract to add some hip to a staid old Fortune 500 firm.
It’s heady and inspiring, and like MTV, an endless procession of youth and novelty. Presented in this carefully edited, glamorous way, design seems so easy, ripe for the plucking for anyone with a bit of talent.‘
Being a designer these days, i mean, being a GOOD designer these days, is nothing but easy – you’d gotta be creative, patient, support pressure very well and even know how to stretch out as a rubber band.
A must read for any designer or designer wannabe, AJ’s column on The creative forum website.
thanks for the plug ! xx
