Everything around us is designed.

I look at everything in great detail, from typefaces used on signs to logo designs on trucks to how badly my microwave's buttons are arranged.

As a designer, we should be paying attention to all the details. The problem is, like Gary says, there are so many things that we touch everyday that are designed and manufactured. It can drive a designer insane.

This was a great interview!

I want that song that plays at the end of the interview.

Do you release CDs of the songs that you choose to use?

Do you list their titles anywhere? Are they for sale?
