A great music resource for now would be a website that's an interactive map of the country where you can click on different places and get information on local musicians and venues there, similar to what resident advisor and dodiy do now but with less of an emphasis on touring and a slicker interface, because unfortunately, I think we've lost some literacy and trust in terms of established design aesthetics of indie media.  idk i think even just that visual of everyone's physical proximity would be exciting for people. Obviously the problem would be generating money for upkeep but it's like we need stuff that looks venture capital-backed but it's being done completely for free, money and data-wise.

“The fear of becoming old is born of the recognition that one is not living now the life that one wishes. It is equivalent to a sense of abusing the present.”  ― Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

good design requires a dictator. One reason is that good design has to be all of a piece. Design is not just for humans, but for individual humans. If a design represents an idea that fits in one person's head, then the idea will fit in the user's head too.

“Appropriateness transcends any issue of style.”  “An architectural education is fundamental for graphic design.”  “A good building costs no more or less than a bad building.”  “Designculture has the same value to that of Neue Grafik, the most important magazine of its era. It represents a fundamental historic moment in the development of our profession and reveals the importance of the seminal work done by our generation to new designers.”  “Design is not art. Design is utilitarian. Art is useful, but not utilitarian.”  “If you can design one thing, you can design everything.”

Morale is key in design. I'm surprised people don't talk more about it. One of my first drawing teachers told me: if you're bored when you're drawing something, the drawing will look boring.
