Fan­tas­tic arti­cle by Jason San­ta Maria about beat­ing what he calls “Design Stag­na­tion”. It’s inter­est­ing that he talks about it hav­ing been in the indus­try a few years. I think it also applies to stu­dents as well, it can be easy to do what yout hink is expect­ed, to do what the indus­try would expect, rather than push the­bound­aries a bit more.
