Re: A letter to design students everywhere
Be mindful, and work through exhaustion. Remember that the future is still to be written and what I have learned is so that I can be a better writer for it.
Clarity i what I am doing in the future should ambitious, but that doesn't mean overcomplicated.
Start simply and go from there, try something out and then expand, grow and learn continuously. Have faith, and excitement in regard of what is to come. Be sure to enjoy what to do and try hard to not let myself down.

Re: MML
- The reading was quite extensive, yet the basic principles of interviewing are applied.
Again being honest is very important, it is also important to be wise while being interviewed.
Asking questions to the interviewer in order to gather knowledge and provide sensible answers to their questions is also a good practice. Analysing the questions of the interviewers and utilizing the infromation gathered is quite useful as well.

Re: What interviewers wish they could tell every job candidate
- What I got from this one is that the basic respectful human interactions are key. Also demonstrating ambition, and desire are important. Make intentions clear to the interviewer. Communicating to them my intentions s a professional and as a human being for the future. Be concise and speak relevant and memorable words. Be simple and honest. Be humble and grateful.

Re: On Tom Peters, The Brand Called You
- My brand is who I am, my experiences, my knowledge. My ideas, emotions and dreams. The things that I won, the things that I listen to and the tv shows I watch. This is my brand. This is me.
Everyone have a chance to stand out to learn. Every brand can be worthy of remark.
A brand is what transcends and lets other know of the quality that it belongs to.
Not confined by a job title or job description.
I should ask myself- What do I do that add me remarkable, measurable distinctive value.
Work diversely and with a diverse kinds of people. This will enable me to learn more, to make more and to show more. Try to get involved in the community, to be noticed, to get to know people.
Loyalty, I should keep in mind. To my colleagues, friends and the people that I work with. Be reliable to them and support them as best as I can.
Re: On My Last Portfolio Sucked, Yours might Too
- Impress the viewer within the first 10 secs. Allow the viewer to succeed in contacting me.
The viewer needs to be able to interpret what the design is from the thumbnail. Don't place incomprehensible and impractical navigation tools.
And don't play music in my website.

Make and Practice Portfolio Presentation.

Re: Frank Chimero
The way that I usually learn from readings is by trying to remember key phrases, or quotes. Then they will linger in my memory and reside there for careful study/thought in an attempt to understand, and collect them.
-Craft matters than most say, sounds like reality, and like KCAI. Sounds like a hint that says try harder.
- Being by being more thoughtful, I've always felt in a handicap. Not having as many resources. And this makes sense, yet thoughtfulness is not a simple thing to achieve. There are many approaches and the hard part is that they are all right and they are all wrong.
- The best communicators are gift givers. I like giving, when I can. But in essence I think this means to be selfless and caring.
- try to make someone cry or laugh or feel understood. This.
-The concept is only part of the process. There fore the concept is as good as the process. Trying a multitude of things is the right way to come with good ideas.
- If I meets someone that enjoys that same strange things that I like, I hold to them for dear life. Sympathy is medicine. Sounds accurate yet hard, and awkward.
- Stop trying to be cool, it is striffling. This too.
- Seeking advice is additive and can become a proxy for action. Fear can be a deterrent after criticism that is inaccurate or different from my own path, thinking. I must trust myself and care about others opinions.
