Just because something is legible doesn't mean it communicates...

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

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.

Don't confuse legibility with communication.

Invite the reader to participate by deciphering. Chaos can attract and engage.

Dont confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible doesnt mean it communicates and, more importantly, doesnt mean it communicates the right thing.

Never mistake legibility for communication.
