Observation
A strong identity begins with a decision about what the work should make people feel. Good work starts with enough attention to notice the thing beneath the obvious.
002
Method
Direction becomes useful when it can guide decisions, not just decorate a presentation.
003
Practice
Make the system clear enough to use and loose enough to remain alive.
004
Takeaway
A coherent point of view carries further than a stack of isolated visual gestures.
