Laws of Simplicity - Law 9 Failure
Answer the following questions as succinctly as possible in your own words
10 mins: Cut & paste into your blog and start answers / 10 mins: Open discussion
1. Using “Ten Squared” as an example, describe an aspect of your work or something you have worked on, where you have found a symbiotic relationship that is both complexity and simplicity.
When designing the invitations we wanted to use splatters to make it look arty and simple. To make the brushes that would allow this simple look was a complex task of splattering black ink on paper then allowing it to dry. Once dry you have to scan the image into Photoshop and adjust settings then define a selection as a brush.
2. Provide a conceptual example of a situation that has arisen during this project where you have had a return on failure?
When designing the headline for Ten Squared mine didn’t demonstrate the ideas or feelings that were identified in other designs.
3. Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to “The Ten Squared exhibition”? Provide a short explanation and example for TWO of the laws so far. Use your work towards and your examples.
ORGANISE – applied the SLIP principle when trying to figure out which sponsors to contact first and ones that were close by location for easy distribution
TIME - I have spent a lot of time with Te rounding up sponsors

I think this pic fits in with Law 9 because John mentions how one persons failure could lead to someones success. In this image at the bottom it says "learn what doesn't work first, then see how u can make it better". I think this image is something I would want to hang up as inspiration :)
