“Rough layouts sell the idea better than polished ones. If you show a highly polished computer layout, the client will focus on the execution not the idea. Show a scribble. Explain it. Talk through it. Involve your client. Let them use their imagination.”

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
― Albert Einstein

Writing converts your ideas from vague to bad. But that's a step forward, because once you can see the brokenness, you can fix it.

Once

when I was young

I had a turtle.

Turtles were my favorite.

He died too young.

The amateur's tragedy.

To care

about something

yet not know how

to care

for it.
