Kristof Dreams of Design
The incredible documentary “Jiro dreams of Sushi” is about a Japanese sushi maker Jiro, who strives to make the perfect sushi. Everyday he is left unsatisfied.
In the movie they talk about the 5 principles of a great sushi chef.
- First, they take their work very seriously and consistently perform on the highest level.
- They aspire to improve their skills
- Cleanliness. If the restaurant doesn’t feel clean, the food isn’t going to taste good.
- Impatience. They are not prone to collaboration. They’re stubborn and insist on having things their own way.
- What ties these attributes together is PASSION.
I feel like these attributes can be reflected to being a great web designer.
To take their work very seriously, to perform on the highest level and to improve their skills. If the design doesn’t feel clean, the content isn’t going to look good. Having things their own way and of course the most important one, passion.
Passion for design, passion for their work.
