Some Inspiration

A few months ago, a friend of mine twittered a link to a video that I did not get to look at until recently. Honestly, I don't watch a lot of videos that are posted on twitter by my friends (sorry guys) because I did not have the time, and if I did I would have forgotten to look back at it. But I am really glad that I watched this one, because it was very inspirational. I wish I could use a combination of words to better describe what it felt to watch it, but that is the first thing that came to mind.

Honestly, at first I had no idea who this Ira Glass was. Until he started talking about This American Life. I've listened to the show before and finally, I had a face (and a name) to put with the voice. I know I should have recognized the name being mentioned on one of those episodes, but I was just focused on the meat of the information.

And now for the meat of this information (w00t segue). It's nice to know that it is natural to feel like you are not doing the best work. The key is to know what is good, and through a lot of work, you will eventually get there. For me, it means getting more clients to do graphic design work, for you, I don't know. You figure it out. Jeez, what do you think I am? Some sorta magic blog?

...

Sooo, if knowing what is good is what we need to be good, then I pose a couple of questions to all the other Graphic Designers out there: What is good taste in graphic design? How does one look for good tasting graphic design? You know, the delicious kind. Think about it, write it down, and then leave your answer on the front table when you're done.

Thanks for the link Vy!
