Create, create, create!
summary
A designer recounts concrete outcomes: the 1992 poster that shot him in the foot that nonetheless makes his reputation; oversized finger‑painting mistaken for calligraphy that sells as prints; a MoMA letter addressed to a mother; a poster campaign installed in 33 probation offices; a run of 50+ book covers produced under “no client input” that keeps returning. AI use briefly derails creative judgment — “AI made my brain go mush” — so focus shifts to handmade work, community distribution and whether pieces actually change viewers or just decorate walls.
