Letter to Stefan Bucher

Dear Mr. Bucher,

You’re presentation was wonderful on the AIGA 2009 conference talk for Make | Think. It was engaging to see your very quick slides of your history and your books. 

I really admired your main message about how you connected with your subconscious and conscious mind. I find myself focusing too much and being in my conscious side of mind when I am completing a project. I think it is almost natural to be too focused of the project at hand when there are deadlines, not to mention the obvious stress factor. I have been practicing to be in my sub conscious mind, I find myself coming up with helpful ideas in my sleep.  

I like the reference you mentioned of letting your ideas and your thinking run around the park. I agree with letting everything out on the table and stepping back from it to let your idea come to you by your subconscious.

I admire how you have followed your passion of making things like your 100 monsters and look forward to your future creations. Your growth as a designer has lead you to be independent and creates  an inspiration for all young designers such as myself. 

Sincerely,

Miranda Esteve
