What can a man ask more? Enza Yes, you’re right,

Thank you Enza. I think that designers make the world more complex (when we need it) and more simple (when we need it). Creatives are flexible. Edward, I wish I could meet Prof. Ghoulish. Does he have any lectures visible online? Your elegant thought on "survival" is appreciated Simon. Objects with a narrative are truly more cherishable. Regards, John Milan was nice. Thank you Enza.

Edward, I wish I could meet Prof. Ghoulish. Does he have any lectures visible online?

Your elegant thought on “survival” is appreciated Simon. Objects with a narrative are truly more cherishable.

Maybe something as basic as survival. In my studio there are a couple of examples from Africa. A split wooden paddle sowen together with fishing line, a wooden bowl repaired with copper wire. My eyes are often drawn to such objects. They tell a human story. The repair of the table moves it onto another aesthetic. Maybe something as basic as survival.

It was taught by Matthew Ghoulish. It was one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. Matthew was a great teacher, and I see him around town quite often.

Sometimes people make too many complicated questions I think becouse they haven't clear in mind netheir what their are asking of. It agrre with you when you say that's probably better just listening, observing and taking something from the power of these actions. I don't see these difficoults at all, probably becouse as graphic designer are we paid to find a solution not to complicate things? Hope you're enyoing your break in Milan Hi John, yesterday I listened your conference about your simplicity rules on “Meet the media guru” in Milan, just a thought, simply great.

I wish it were so obvious to modern culture. It is helpful to be reminded of it even for those who acknowledge it as it is very easy to strive only for the perfect.

It is amazing when one starts seeing beauty in imperfection. This reminds me of the concept of wabi sabi
