    The world needs more designers like Jesper and less designers "by the book" that learn how to design in a 4 month courses and only repeat a recipe to do things like they were gurus without never think critically about design.

    In my opinion good design has nothing to do with design authors. I disagree with that, because its a problem of ego, but i agree that is need to be good at problem solving. Thank you Config for this interesting talk.

  • @chumleyk
    @chumleyk Месяц назад +9

    His perspective is from the artist designer, where people buy into your design because of you. Nearly all designers can't be that, hence his advice will be doubted by those 'generic' practitioners. He is to design as Gehry or Hadid are to architects - nearly all architects are unknown and replaceable creators of generic, low budget, and very disposable, buildings. You're likely not going to be that type of designer, but keep your mind open to the possibility or you will suffocate others with 'no's'. You'll have no unique points of view or differentiation and you'll be replaced by AI as soon as possible because your creative muscles have atrophied to nothing if they were there in the first place

    • @bornprojects
      @bornprojects Месяц назад +3

      If you are not innovating, you aren't designing, you're just following rules. Designers have the obligation to always believe or try to become Gehry or Hadid, but with their own sense of identity. It's the only way you can truly be a designer. If you go into this career just to get by and get "work", it's not the right one. As a designer you need to challenge the norm, shake things up, and always improve.... It's a lifestyle

      With this attitude, he managed to create a successful advertising agency, which allowed him to buy not one, but several Lamborghinis. He founded Acne Studios, then taught himself CAD and hardware, and started Teenage Engineering, which is pretty successful. He's definitely not as successful as you in writing comments though
