Excellent video. Would like to say thanks to David Dabner for his great graphic design book and for taking the time to put his input into this video. :) Both have helped greatly with my digital graphic design essay.

dave maybe a legend but its a dusty old legend that the world has forgotten. Laughed so hard about his jazz analogy... he hasn't changed a bit and doubt he ever will. Great clip this. Brings back lots of memories...especially all those bloody stairs up to typo lab.

I totally agree, but I wonder if technology has pierced this ''pen & paper'' support with the tablets offered, for example, by the company Wacom. It doesn't have same effect to me, but I've noticed plenty of artist now work directly on computer using this type of support and giving an amazing result. Now I wonder if technology is or not too much criticized?

There are 2 ways of looking at computer related issues. Working with a computer is like throwing a bunch of crap at a wall and wait till something sticks. Working with your hands you can take that piece of crap and smear it on the wall so you know it sticks. It will take longer though to to it by hand. And you will be covered in shit in the end.

What they're saying is that you shouldn't develop your idea via computer. You sketch it out on paper and then use the computer as a tool. It's there to clean up ragged edges and fill color blocks. It's not there to help you think of a creative solution.

Freaking love typography, man. Printing press, lithography, intaglio...it's the way to go. The teacher is so right. When you're sitting in front of a MacBook Pro, fucking around in Illustrator or Photoshop....you get lazy. You lose concept....ugh.
