If you have no intuitive sense of design, then call yourself an "information architect" and only use Helvetica.

Don't confuse legibility with communication.

You have to utilize who you are in your work. Nobody else can do that: nobody else can pull from your background, from your parents, your upbringing, your whole life experience.

For some reason I have a visual intuition that allows me to design things in an interesting way, and I don't know where that came from. Because I don't have this formal training, I seem to drift in a different direction.

The station was tight, aggressive ... the deejays at times sounding as if they were broadcasting at gunpoint.

Never mistake legibility for communication.

You'll see everything from gold teeth to hood ornaments. It's almost like Halloween during August.
