Wallpaper* Magazine

Lesson Learned: Learning to See

Wallpaper* Magazine’s tagline is “The stuff that refines you.” For me, this means that the purpose of design is to surround yourself with the most beautiful and the most functional things, whether it be architecture, fashion, visuals, or products.

While working on this magazine, I realized that a designer’s role is less about being the best at pushing pixels in Photoshop or InDesign, and more about learning to see the difference between stuff that refines and stuff that detracts.
