some profound Tweets on design....

"Design has to work. Art does not." Donald Judd.

designers take things apart, evaluate them & put them back together, in a different order. that is how we understand product & process

There are those who talk about creating, and those who create.

"A good design is never finished. You're trying to advance what you’ve done beforehand. I love that.” Eddie Opara 

 

Final thought: Keep doing what you do, do it for love or survival, for pride or money, but always design and think the hell out of it.
