Shawn Blanc reflects on his current work load and Creative Design Poverty:
“There is much more to design than white space, the two-thirds rule, and font selection. Those tricks and elements surely help when we’re stuck, but I know for certain that they are not what real creative design is all about.”
Tools and standards cannot define creativity in of themselves. Design is the outward expression of inward creative thinking.
“I look at the elements and standards of good design as the launching pad to what creative design is really about: Creating.”
Amen.
