Sure, you can read them if you really want, but I always worry that these posts come off as know-it-all advice. &#8230; <a href="http://www.ideasonideas.com/2010/12/random-observations-%e2%80%93-part-10/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following is in response to an interview with Paula Scher on the blog Pr*tty Sh*tty. In it Josh Berta asked Paula questions about her work and design in general. A few of her remarks, surrounding socially-concentrated design, felt troublesome. &#8230; <a href="http://www.ideasonideas.com/2010/03/new-designers-and-the-moral-imperative/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
