Design vs. Life
Matthew Anderson | Books, Graphic Design | Monday, July 7th, 2008
Over the weekend I picked up Michael Bierut’s book Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design. Number one in the volume is a must-read piece called Warning: May Contain Non-Design Content. The essay, which was originally published on Design Observer, makes some noteworthy comments on the importance of design that is informed by life, not the other way around. I applaud Mr. Bierut’s words.

On a similar, less tasteful note, I ffffound this commentary over the weekend too. “Pardon my French,” states the author. “Really, I’m not usually such a potty mouth. [But] is anyone else thinking this?”
