Designers' Ten Commandments

今天一個蠻閒的同事在吃完烤肉後傳給我的，看看覺得蠻有道理的，雖然有點舊，不過內容頗值得深思。來自 "NewWebPick" 網站的刊物；重新翻譯了一下：

Designers' Ten Commandments - 設計師的十戒

1. Not to copy other's creative work, under no circumstances. (在任何情況下都不得抄襲別人的作品。)
2. Not to rely completely on computer technology, it is a tool only and cannot substitute your creativity. Remember, you are a designer, not a computer graphic editor. (切勿過分依賴電腦，記住，你是設計師，不是電腦繪圖員。)
3. Be a creator and not a fashion-follower because a trendy style today would become an out-dated one tomorrow. (當個創造者而非追隨流行的人，因為流行容易過時。)
4. Trying ten design fields simultaneously but badly is worst than concentrating on one field and master it.  (同時嘗試十個設計領域不如專精一種，並做到最好。)
5. Be professional and not to release any art works that you don't like. (展現專業，不要發表自己不喜愛的作品。)
6. Not to lower the quality in view of low business value of an art work. (不可因較彽的商業價值而放寬對設計品質的要求。)
7. Not to criticize other's artwork merely on the ground of one's preferences nor just replicate comment from someone. (勿僅憑主觀批評他人作品，亦不可人云亦云。)
8. Not to create artwork without any ground. Great works usually come from the understanding of the culture, history and philosophy. (勿閉門造車，偉大的作品通常源自於對文化、歷史與哲學的深厚了解。)
9. Keep yourself modest to people, no matter you are just a novice or a master. (無論你的身分高低，永遠保持謙遜的態度。)
10. Always believe that design can save your country and change the world. (永遠相信設計能拯救你的國家，並且改變世界。)
