10 lessons for young designers


Weiden+Kennedy are one of the coolest ad agencies I can think of. I went to Semi-Permanent in Sydney a few years ago and heard 2 art directors from W+K Portland speak - their approach to coming up with ideas is so different from what is taught in a book!

My favourite is: "Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to learn just how much you don’t know."
