"Every designer...

or photographer

should have an ongoing

conversation with 

the word editor - -

you are all journalists."

-Roger Black

.

Refreshing to hear 

journalist

and 

designer

in the same sentence.

recently claimed 

that the top five "useless majors" are:

1) Fine arts

2) Drama and theater arts

3) Film, video arts

4) Commercial art and graphic design

5) Architecture

I would be interested to see 

how much you enjoy your lives

if we didn't exist.

I don't usually...

agree with George Lois. 

But when I do, 

I listen to things like this:

"... Campbell nailed the secret of living

a joyous, fruitful, and successful life:

Follow your bliss. 

That which you love,

you must spend your life doing,

as passionately

and as perfectly 

as your heart, mind, and instincts allow. 

And the sooner you identify

that bliss,

which surely resides in the soul

of most human beings,

the greater your chance

of a truly successful 

life."

-From his book, Damn Good Advice (For People with Talent!)

Which is a good one to read I think.
