You have to be beautiful to create something beautiful.
The one thing you can't teach is beauty. Some people are not born with high-end After Effect skills, but beauty's right there. It's genetic. Hotness is always the tiebreaker.
Sometimes I wonder, "is my work beautiful because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because my work is beautiful?" It's probably a little bit of both.
Perfect people create the perfect design.
As a beautiful person, I pretty much live a consequence-free life. I believe that's why I'm such a fearless designer: i can create disturbing, controversial imagery and in the end, people just say "wow, she's hot."
The fact is, regular people will do anything for beautiful people.
FTW site of the day! Schnauss in the Haus FAQs are so funny:
"Instead of design, pronounce it de-sign. To de-sign is to remove the sign. The sign is the most basic form of graphic communication. So to de-sign means to remove communication. If you remove communication from design what is left? Art."
