Colonel Mustard With A Candle Stick
William Feathers once said: “Beware of the person who can't be bothered by details.”
Dig deeply into any work of art, any novel of note, and amongst its mountain of details you will find its excellence. Broad ideas, bold strokes, and colorful images are the signal posts of our world and how we navigate it, but it is only in the details that we can truly see its beauty.
Design is no different than any other endeavor. No matter the apparent simplicity of the work, there are always an array of complicit details that make it shine. A professional designer is aware of this and strives with every project to focus on the little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary, the competent from the effective.
Fire and Ice: 2012
"2012" hit theatres a short time ago and as movies go the story is idiotic, but the movie was fun. The roller coaster ride begins just after the opening credits and doesn’t stop until the end. 
Unfortunately, the story is just the opposite – it stops after the opening credits and picks up at the very end. In the middle is Hollywood’s best CGI effort at creating an edge of the seat thrill ride.
The problems with the story are many. Suffice it to say John Cusack and crew should have had the Superman 'S' emblazoned upon everything they wore. There were so many close escapes – and impossible escapes – that even Roger Moore’s James Bond would have been embarrassed (a difficult feat, to say the least). Worse yet, the story gets a lot of the facts wrong too.
