LA Story Design Philosophy
This came up in conversation tonight and I figured I’d post it. Whenever people talk about design constraints I always think of the scene in LA Story where Trudi talks about how she chooses jewelry:
One of the first things I always teach my clients is about the point system. You should never have more than seven things on. You know, like your earrings count for two points, those daisies count for three points. But the best thing to do is, right before you go out, look in the mirror and turn around real fast, and the first thing that catches your eye, get rid of it. I mean, I had this thing in my hair before I left, remember? And I pulled it right out, ’cause as soon as I turned, gone! Marilyn Monroe did that.
Tried to find it on YouTube but didn’t have the patience. If anyone tracks it down leave a comment and I’ll add it.
