"To Smooth The Edges" [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - # 40]
The edges of what’s radical in life
Need knocking off and smoothing, lest its strife
Contaminate the settlers’ life of charms,
And jangle it with needless false alarms.So manuals of type and layout rules
For students in the pipeline, known as schools,
Establish norms with open-ended room
For those who are creative still to bloom.They’re good like modern YouTube how-to flicks
Which get us started – as Adobe nixed
All manuals – says outside parties can
Address such need – creative embers fan.Which gives me pause – is that my role in life?
To bridge the new and old with balance right?
“A scribe trained in the Kingdom” if you please;
More, “Stu, who stumbles forward on his knees”.Thanks Lord for this.
