A Message from the Editor

So, this evening I stumbled upon a new magazine called How Design. Let me start by saying that is was my first time reading from How Design. I learned about them through a small place called the bookstore. LOL

 Being part of the design world I bet many of us forget about traditionally sources of information. Hey! I am guilty as well. I have done it, and I still do it. I go to Google type in few keywords, and WOW magic happens. But at the same time I haven’t limited nor have I made myself depended on Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. Instead I go around looking for inspirational articles and things I can relate to and share with the creative people I collaborate daily.

So reading from How Design, the message from the Editor, Byrn Mooth hit me hard and made me think deeper of my position as a student, designer, artist, and a writer the role I play everyday in life.

“We often use the phrase, “’ the moon and stars aligned’” to describe a seemingly serendipitous set of events that point to a change in life. But really, it’s not so much a matter of celestial bodies moving into place, but rather of our paying attention to what’s right in front of us. I’ve been thinking about chance and fate a lot lately as I’ve contemplated a big change of direction for myself.”  – Bryn Mooth

She writes about what was fun and entertaining to her and how it became popular.  She took a small idea, and  just ran with it. Not knowing what was going to happen or how it would change her life completely.

While reading Mooth’s article, it dawned to me that we designers and creative people always come up with all sorts of ideas. Our minds never stop working even while we are sleeping. We constantly challenge political, controversial, societies ideas etc. We challenge those who question, those who love to question; and the best part is that it’s a never-ending quest. If it weren’t for the artistic people the world it wouldn’t be so colorful and opinionated as it today. Therefore if there is one thing I learned today, that was don’t be afraid. Just Do It!
