type2: research for P1

Print is dead: Print isn't dead. It's evolving.
I came up with this particular way of saying this after reading this article: I'm certain it's probably been said before, but I don't have anyone to attribute as actually saying this.

Importance/living with design: "Design makes our lives more efficient, informed, comfortable, productive, beautiful, enjoyable, sustainable... and possible."
This is pulled directly from this article on AIGAs website. It is speaking of the lack of focus on design in the K12 education curriculum.

Design education: Design can not be ignored. We must educate ourselves to know that design is a vital part of the human experience in so many ways.

Importance of design: The only important thing about design is how it relates to people. - Victor Papanek

Protip: Make sure you sleep. Sleep like your life depends on it.
This is something I've heard a lot of. Many of us don't get enough of it, to the point where we start to suffer because of it. It's said time and again that we need to sleep in order to actually work and create. It's true. Sometimes it just doesn't seem realistic.



Some others that probably aren't legitimate suggestions, but I found them fun/relevant to my current stance.

Ethernet is for the weak. Only the daring rely on shoddy wifi.
Not all designers wear black. Some of us are color fiends.
It's like I asked you for apples and you gave me ham. - Marty Maxwell Lane
