How can you go from being a consumer of great work to being someone who makes it? How do you learn to break anything down and understand how it works so you can apply it to your own work or business?

Watch what happens. I make a post about clients spending $10k (minimum) to help the community—to connect good people.

Immediately, people start offering to do it for less. And we blame clients for not valuing design and creativity? Come to grips. This is self imposed.

My friend Caster Semenya is unequivocally female. Forcing women w/naturally high testosterone to give up ownership of their bodies & take drugs to compete in sport is barbaric, dangerous, and discriminatory. I stand behind her and hope she prevails. #IAAF https://t.co/L0VZ7sg2xC

If design only considers the culture of the present and doesn't accomodate or catalyse the growth of that culture, it is safe and its utility doesn't transcend the average.

To design for people you must know people.

[Language Of Design @Lang_OfDesign]

If design ignores our psychology, physisiology and culture it may be beautiful but definitely not useful.

The Baobab Hotel Corridor.

A warm and inviting space designed by K-Line Architecture to counter the usual harrowing effect poorly lit corridors tend to have.

We visualized this with all their design intentions in mind.

Nope. There is a social media blackout, police are reportedly throwing teargas into people's home in the high density suburbs, and there is reportedly a standoff between riot police and unarmed civilian protestors in Mutare. Nothing is calm.

It is ok to say 'no' to clients.

Price Bracketing

Rule: Say a price before you show it.
Tip: Address any buyer resistance before going forward.

Bracket with a high price anchor, above where you expect the client to spend.
Tip: Say the bigger number first. The lower price will seem a bargain for the client.
