Quotes

“You can do more complicated fonts, but if you’re going to do that, you really need to do it sparingly, and your core fonts need to be very simple.” (19:43)

“That’s the case for keeping all design simple, is that it will stand the test of time much better. If you are going to throw trendy elements into your design, into your branding, make it something that can easily change. Like don’t make your logo super trendy and then have to change your logo. You know, maybe you throw in some trendy elements that can be refreshed in a couple of years.” (20:31)

“The whole point of a presentation is communication. It’s not to be fancy. It’s not to wow people with your artistic skills... If you don’t communicate the message, it doesn’t matter how pretty it is, you have not accomplished your goal.” (22:02)
