Erik Spiekermann

I think his view on web design and print design is interesting.  i think he has a unique perspective because he doesn't really care about the medium and says design is design. I also thought it was interesting how he compared a mobile phone to  a small piece of paper. I think its really interesting to see his perspective of how things happened before we had a lot of the technology we do today. I like how he talks about color and how they didn't used to use it and just because we have access to it doesn't matter. a good point he makes is that no matter what the medium is you have to remember to make it easy for the audience to see what they need to see. I thought it was interesting that he works from smallest thing and then goes to the next biggest thing and compares that to web designer techniques. I also thought it was cool how open Erik was to people using his font in a way he didn't imagine and being able to appreciate it if ti looks good.
