So far Marion Bantjes, Bruce Mau, Stefan Bucher, Stefan Sagmeister have shared their ideas with us of what design is. One common thing i find these designers have is the intentions they have to move forward, they all want to come up with new ideas and formats to communicate and get people's attention. in addition, all of them enjoy what they do and reflect that in their work, most of them have developed a style that make their work easily recognizable. These designers share similar philosophies and work habits that work as inspiration for future designers. They all like to have total control of what they do, since they have small design studios rather than large offices with hundreds of employes.
As a graphic designer I'm glad that these designers share similar point with my vision of design. I believe that design is always in an evolution period that never stops. design must relate to humanity to be able to have an impact. in addition, it is important that designers enjoy the process of design.

Stefan G. Bucher
Dear Stefan G. Bucher,
My name is Jose Betancur, I’m currently a graphic design student at Humber College, Toronto. In one of my courses I was shown one of your talks back in 2009 for the AIGA make l think conference and I wanted to thank you for sharing what you do with us. I think the process for your monsters creations is great. I really enjoyed your introduction since it was different from others that I seen I think it is a great way to start and communicate what kind of person you are. I liked the fact that everything you do reflects your personality. In addition, I enjoy the fact that you have your own style since I’m still looking for a style of my own, but after watching your talk I realized a style comes from personality, so I want to thank you for making that point clear.
As a graphic designer I also want to thank you for showing me how each project can be enjoyable rather than lets say...dreadful. As a graphic designer I assume you have come across difficult clients and boundaries but from what I saw in your talk, it gives me some relief that designers can still enjoy what they do rather than doing things only for money even though I know the money is important. So I just want to thank you for inspiring me and sharing your creativity and thoughts.
I look forward to seeing more of your designs and more of your talks.
Sincerely,
Jose Betancur
