TYPE 2: design quote research

In How to be a graphic designer, without losing your soul published in 2001, Adrian Shaughnessy discusses questions many young graphic designers have about the culture, business, and ethos of graphic design in an effort to help guide designers into meaningful careers. In it, he talks about the problem many designers have in the workplace having to compromise their design standards for the sake of the project or client. He writes, “Integrity in design is a bit like obesity in ballet dancers—you don’t often see it”. Adrian Shaughnessy is a graphic designer and writer based in London, regularly contributing to Eye, Creative Review, and Design Week, as well as working as an editor and design consultant.
