Q: What advice would you give a cynical designer?
A: Get out of the way.
That's probably what I really appreciated and took away from Bruce Mau's lecture. According to Mau there is no room in design for cynicism. Mau is one of those people who's a genuine optomist. But not in an annoying "things will get better" kind of way. It's more of a "things will get better, because I will make them better". While blinding optimism can be a bit much, Bruce Mau energized the crowd and reminded us all how powerful design can be.
