Steele Films offers us a look into the mind of nationally renowned graphic artist John D. Miller. As a designer, some important suggestions and thoughts I took away from this mini-documentary were:
-”Design should have the focus of business and the vision of art”. So true. The line between design and art is sometimes hard to see, but I think this quote sums it up for me.
-”Always push the client further than they expect to go”: People can get all philosophical about the ramifications and meanings of design, but in the end its all about executing a communicative piece of work in a slightly unusual fashion. Always try and give a client what they least expect. True words of wisdom.
-”Pay attention to the quality of the printed piece”. One can make something conceptually impressive, but if it doesn’t look good in the end, well, one didn’t fully succeed.
