01
不可抄袭他人之创意,不论有何前提;
Not to copy other’s creative work, under no circumstances;
kevinsky:不要拿”撞车”来解释创意的雷同,抄袭就是偷盗!一名职业设计师应该掌握足够的信息量以避免自己的创意雷同他人;
02
不可过分依赖电脑技术,切记,你是一名设计师,不是一名电脑修图员;
Not to rely completely on computer technology, it is a tool only and cannot substitute your creativity. Remember, you are a designer, not a computer graphic editor;
kevinsky:电脑只是一种工具,设计是靠你的大脑,而且我奉行手绘与电脑并举将你将所向披靡;
03
不可一直追随流行设计风格,现在流行的,必是马上过时的;
Be a creator and not a fashion-follower because a trendy style today would become an out-dated one tomorrow;
kevinsky:设计是一种思想,形式可以流行,但创意不可流行;
04
各用10%的精力涉足十门设计学科,不如用100%的精力涉足于一门学科;
Trying ten design fields simultaneously but badly is worst than concentrating on one field and master it;
kevinsky:专注与精通永远是成功的第一法则;
05
不可将自己都认为有问题的作品向公众发表;
Be professional and not to release any art works that you don’t like;
kevinsky:对自己放纵是对最大的自残,设计师应该严格要求自己,宁可自恋,因为至少对自己要求完美;
06
不可因低价商业项目,而放低对作品的要求;
Not to lower the quality in view of low business value of an art work;
kevinsky:要么不接,接下的案子就该尽100%的力,因为砸的是你自己的牌子;
07
不可凭主观意识评价他人作品;不可人云亦云;
Not to criticize other’s artwork merely on the ground of one’s preferences nor just replicate comment from someone;
kevinsky:老师曾教导我,评价别人的作品不要说不好,只需说我不喜欢.思考之后再做评价,不然你的言论毫无价值;
08
不可闭门造车;了解一些历史、哲学和人文,将对你的作品大有好处;
Not to create artwork without any ground. Great works usually come from
the understanding of the culture, history and philosophy;
kevinsky:厚积而薄发,知识积累在仓库里,自然有用到的时候!设计是一门综合知识运用的学科,要想做出有内涵的作品就得多看书,且是多读文字类的书籍;
09
不论身份高低,须保持歉虚的态度;
Keep yourself modest to people, no matter you are just a novice or a master;
kevinsky:谦虚使人进步这是个硬道理,而且谦虚让你更受尊重,别学那些无知的自大狂,其实那是一种肤浅的表现!
10
永远坚信:设计可以拯救你的国家,可以改变世界。
Always believe that design can save your country and change the world.
kevinsky:尊重自己的职业,热爱他,抱着为他而奉献生命的热情,你会发现他回报给你的更加丰厚!
