Frank Chimero: Design Advice

Some great advice right here that every graphic design student should read.

Scissors are good, music is better, and mixed drinks with friends are best. 

If you can’t draw as well as someone, or use the software as well, or if you do not have as much money to buy supplies, or if you do not have access to the tools they have, beat them by being more thoughtful. Thoughtfulness is free and burns on time and empathy.

If you meet a person who cares about the same obscure things you do, hold on to them for dear life. 

Start brave and brash: you can always make things more conservative, but it’s hard to make things more radical. Edit yourself, but let someone else censor you.
