Thoughts on Sean Adams
- Just because the computer makes things happen quickly, doesn't mean it's best.
- Designers today need to, or simply have more knowledge of a wider variety of platforms: print, web, interactive, environmental to name a few.
- Ideas : take them from wherever you can. Jot down ALL ideas. Sometimes you should do the opposite of what you think is best, or go with the worst idea -to shake things up if you are stuck.
- Design keeps capitalism moving along!
- Network, network, network! Work with the connections you have. Let teachers and professionals know what you want, if something comes up, you might be contacted.
- Clients have good ideas but they can't always articulate it well. Designers must learn to listen well.
- Idea's can get lost in technology... is there a concept or is it just pretty?
- Portfolio's should have a simple and clean presentation.
- History of design is important.
