Hi! Welcome...

sye.me to the blog of Simon (Sye) Robertson. I love type and typography and graphic design, as well as tattoos, sneakers and cushions, and probably lots of others things as well. Thanks for stopping by.

Bruce Mau Design – Manifesto

Bruce Mau Design – Manifesto

The above link has some really interesting thoughts about creative practice. I’m currently studying a Graduate Diploma of Graphic Design (whilst working full time), part of the course has been focused on similar ideas.

I’m often too focused on the outcome, not the process. This is probably the biggest thing stopping better work and also enjoying my job more. 

Does anyone else have thoughts about this?
