opinion …
It is more than golden section and color harmony that art is featuring … not only academy skills are defining an artist … I think it is courage and it is the will to tell something relevant as well.
no haste …
I think in production it is very important to let decisions and concepts ease down for a while, to let it age like wine … if good or bad idea will be separated on its own after a period of time. Try to keep haste away from your production as long as possible.
questions and answers …
I am better in asking questions than giving answers. Every artist should be. ;)
about quality …
With the best concept of a project the best artist will not be able to do a good job if two things are missing:
… a good project lead and inspiration (which a bad project lead can easily take away from him) …
out of the sketchbook …
When a character has to be designed, who will later be assigned by a real actor like in a movie project, I tend to work rather impressively while trying to give the director and the actor the “soul” of a role. I think in this case it is more important to understand a character on another level under the surface of a simple design.
philosophy …
… to design means to fake.
about finding ideas …
I try to keep my eyes open all the time … maybe a knife is enough to find a design for a symbol … or even a drop of grouted wine on the table can look like the head of a monster. Just stay open-minded.
philosophy … good design
Good design is not a matter of details … but details can hide bad design.
Philosophie …
As a designer sometimes it could be better not to ask what an audience shall see … but to ask what an audience shall feel. – Then go for it.
Philosophie …
I think good design comes up with a good story …
