Designers' Ten Commandments

#1 : Not to copy other's creative work, under no circumstances;

#2 : Not to rely completely on computer technology, it is tool only and cannot substitute your creativity. Remember, you are a designer, not a computer graphic editor;

#3 : Be a creator and not a fashion-follower because a trendy style today would become an out-dated one tomorrow;

#4 : Trying ten design fields simultaneously but badly is worst than concentrating on one field and master it;

#5 : Be professional and not to release any art works that you don't like;

#6 : Not to lower the quality in view of low business value of an art work;

#7 : Not to criticize other's artwork merely on the ground of one's preferences nor just replicate comment from someone;

#8 : Not to create artwork without any ground. Great works usually come from the understanding of the culture, history and philosophy;

#9 : Keep yourself modest to people, no matter you are just a novice or a master;

(第十戒 也是最精彩的 所以連中文也一起譯出來)
#10 : Always believe that design can save the country and change the world.
#10 : 永遠堅信 設計可以拯救國家 可以改變世界
