The Top 10 Things They Never Taught Me in Design School by Michael McDonough
- Talent is one-third of the success equation.
- 95 percent of any creative profession is shit work.
- If everything is equally important, then nothing is very important.
- Don’t over-think a problem.
- Start with what you know; then remove the unknowns.
- Don’t forget your goal.
- When you throw your weight around, you usually fall off balance.
- The road to hell is paved with good intentions; or, no good deed goes unpunished.
- It all comes down to output.
- The rest of the world counts.

The way to rouse a designer is to allow the freedom to create.
I recently came across this art set …
and as a designer I know that I take my art to heart,
and I am destroyed when someone wants to change it,
or simply ignore why I designed something a certain way,
but after seeing these …
I at least know I am not alone in my feelings.
Plus, they made me laugh!
Cheers to all you designers out there. Here’s a giggle.
Happy Friday, Mon Amis!
One of my favorite sorority sisters actually has a related post today, about respect in the workspace and in life. Check my buddy K.K. out here. {Careful there is an image shown — NSFW!}{Images found on Design You Trust aka my new favorite blog}

Beautiful Brassai, darling
My first love in life was photography.
This Hungarian photographer is one of my most favorite …
And I love photography that I can place a story to.
She is a prostitute. In that light she looks like an angel.
I think he may be too drunk to use his house key properly.
Look at her pearls! Marvelous, darling. Simply marvelous!
I hope they were in love forever.

iWanna win an iPad
I just heard about this contest to win an iPad {contest details) …
I basically need to design something for the back of the device.
And b/c I will never be able to afford an iPad …
this is basically my only chance to have one.
Since the deadline isn’t until April 3rd I was looking for some feedback!
There is a poll. Feedback is easy.
And if you want to share more — comment, darlings.
Thoughts?
