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 “

Why so serious? CHAPTER 5:
None
We focus on establishing the rules of storytelling instead of
actually telling good stories.

Thou shalt not make thy pages scroll infinitely. II
Thou shalt not taketh the name of the Lord, Performance,
in vain. III
