Introduction perplessiveā„¢
Interests I suspect what I’m really against is what that term “graphic design” has come to represent, i.e. synonymous with business cards, logos, identities and advertising, and, again simply put, those are things I’m just not interested in. To me that idea of “graphic design” is as far removed from my interests as being a milkman or a lawyer. In fact, I’d rather be a milkman. / Stuart Bailey / It's not rocket science. It's social science – the science of understanding people's needs and their unique relationship with art, literature, history, music, work, philosophy, community, technology and psychology. The act of design is structuring and creating that balance. / Clement Mok/ I think my work is much more about ‘love, ’ if I dare say that: things that I don’t get from love, things that I love or want to love, or that I want to love me. / Kai Althoff / Design is a puzzle you create for yourself—you have all the pieces, but it's up to you to decide how they fit. Perfection is not something to strive for, but close to perfect is—it leaves room for exploration, dialogue, and learning. / Naz Hamid /
