milton glaser vs shepard fairy







Print: Fairey has referred to what he does as “referencing.” There’s certainly plenty of precedent for making reference to older artwork in new ones. How does one distinguish between plagiarism and reference?

Today in the very early morning ( for me at least) I attended my first Creative Mornings by SwissMiss. The speaker was Khoi Vinh the Creative Director for New York Times .One thing that I really enjoyed him talking about was how he so candid about how he has failed in design. Basically he says it is good to fail then learn how to pick yourself back up. Each time you get better and better. It's nice to hear someone with such stature admit to such things.
Points in the presentation:
1. Tell The Truth
2. Understand the problem
3. Don’t Skimp
4. Fads are bad
5. Let things be what they are
6. A little bit of self-delusion goes a long way

Feeling more fueled now.
