Conformity and efficiency have a price. And that price is
design. That price is a feeling of humanity. Of something that’s been created from scratch. –MARK BOULTON “
Problem Solution
Your problem is that you make shit. A lot of
shit. Cheap shit. And no one cares about you or your cheap shit. –JOSHUA TOPOLSKY “
And an increasingly aware, connected, and mutable audience is onto
your cheap shit. They don’t want your cheap shit. –JOSHUA TOPOLSKY “
They want the good shit. And they will go
to find it somewhere. Hell, they’ll even pay for it. –JOSHUA TOPOLSKY “

We focus on establishing the rules of storytelling instead of
actually telling good stories.
