In this talk by Michael Bierut at the 99 Percent Conference in 2009, he gives tips on design productivity and five separate lessons using drawings and notes from his 86 notebooks. He also touches on his dislike of neutered sprites and imparts nuggets of design wisdom such as: "The problem contains the solution," "Don't avoid the obvious," and "Indulge your obsessions."

First, I am passionate about not ending a sentence in a preposition.
Then, I am passionate about helping my clients tell their stories with better images. Michael has reaffirmed my belief that that is my Passion....
