Design, Discovery and Humor

Here is an interesting and funny video from Ted with David Carson speaking about the importance of graphic design and intuition:

During his presentation, David Carson uses a great quote on intuition:

“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you, and you don’t know how or why.” – Albert Einstein

He also talks a bit about how the pendulum is swinging slighty back from simplicity in graphic design, and how as we become more digitally driven, graphic design will feature more people and more handwriting.

What do you think?
