Monday, October 5th, 2009michael bierut on some fundamentals that might not be top of mind for all designers…
Designing is the most important thing, but it’s not the only thing. All of the other things a designer does are important too, and you have to do them with intelligence, enthusiasm, dedication, and love. Together, those things create the background that makes the work meaningful, and, when you do them right, that makes the work good.

october 2009 wallpaper
Thursday, October 1st, 2009i was not very good on the whole desktop wallpaper thing during the summer, but i’ve done one for october! if you’re like me, this time of year is crazy busy. so i’ve designed a very clean, elegant wallpaper that celebrates the textures of nature… and leaves lots of room on your desktop for all those pesky work-related files and icons.
you can download it in a variety of sizes over on my freebies page. and please have patience with the downloading speed… the files are a little bigger than normal because of those hi-res textures.
enjoy!
