And That Would Make This Reading 8
And connecting back with the previous reading, this time I’m nodding along with Erik Spiekermann in Chapter 1, along with Shaughnessy’s response to him, when they’re talking about how the best designers don’t let design eclipse the rest of their lives. I feel like I’ve done my best design stuff when I’ve been working on something that wasn’t so much a ‘design project’ as a ‘cool other stuff I’m into project that happens to need my design expertise’. Like what I’ve got for Tinkerers so far, or the All-That-Is Atlas and Guidebook I did two years ago (and then turned into a web page last year). Doesn’t mean I can’t do work on stuff I’m not in love with, but I’m pretty sure that everyone can tell the difference between the final products. Or at least everyone who’s looking for it.
That was both slightly off-topic and somewhat more emotional than I expected it to be. Huh.
Ignore that last bit.
