To touch somebody’s heart with design.
Being in a foreign place, preferably for the first time, having seen many things and collected new impressions, and returning to an empty hotel room with an hour or so to blow. That mix often yields fine results.
Hobbies are for people that don't like what they're doing.
So whatever I find true for myself, other people might also relate to.
I didnt think that personal style had much value in graphic design.
I don't think there is a particular responsibility on designers that is not on other professions... I think there's a responsibility for all of us to engage on all levels.
