Fernandez Santos on Ten Things I Have Learned (54006)
Dialogue initiated by Elena Bayiya Fernandez Santos in the article Ten Things I Have Learned

Although I think the number 10 is a bit small for the amount of knowledge a designer with the trajectory of Milton Glaser must have had, I really like how this article is well summarized and exposed (wish I've found it earlier :c ). We learn by doing and by messing things up, is one of the basic rules of design (and life if you analyze it well). And in the graphic industry you can mess it up in a lot of different ways on one topic only, that’s why I founded interesting when graphic designers talk (or write) about their misfortunes, because it’s a little pat in the back telling new designers «it’s ok if you screwed up, you are learning, and you are going to keep learning all your life» and that those mistakes only help us to give form to the professionals we want to be.
