Wortwörtlich (94): Code

Zwei Legenden im Gespräch: Om Malik, einer der erfolgreichsten Technologiejournalisten, und Erik Spiekermann, Schriftgestalter, Grafikdesigner und Unternehmer, der MetaDesign, FontShop und edenspiekermann gegründet hat. Malik will von Spiekermann wissen, was sich für Gestalter im digitalen Zeitalter ändert:

„Om: If you were to give advice to younger designers, web developers, web app makers, what would you tell them?
Erik: Learn as much about our culture as you possibly can, by reading, by traveling, by involving yourself in things that go on. But don’t become an artist. Don’t think, I’ll do it intuitively. You have to learn if not to code at least to appreciate code, to understand code. Because code is what nuts and bolts were a hundred years ago.“
