David Carson
David Carson is a very intriguing speaker, partly because he has a great sense of humor that comes across in his lectures. But he also has a lot of good points to make about design. At the end of this TED Talk, I like how he compares design to his father's life as a test pilot. Test pilots had about a 40-50% chance of dying on the job. Carson says as designers we don't face those odds, so why not take risks in design and experiment?
