“Don't ever underestimate the power
of big color surfaces and a classic fonts.
Keep in mind that good output takes time.
Always have a lot of stuff/input to work
with. Never just sit and stare empty on
your monitor, and try to ‘think’
something up. Scan things, draw stuff, use
fonts, use color, use filters, take pictures
and most important have an idea. Build up,
break it down, ‘kill your darlings,’
build up, break it down, ‘kill your
darlings,’ build up, break it down.
Try to progress in every step, eventually
something interesting will appear, and you
can work in that direction... Additionally,
it might require talent, to get to the last
step,” states r A z.
