55. OTHER DESIGNERS
There’s
a
new
generation
of
designers
learning
the
craft
at
school
or
on
their
own
as
we
speak.
We
are
responsible
for
them.
Let
them
know
they’re
not
alone,
and
that
designers
support
each
other
through
thick
and
thin.
The
future
of
webdesign
lies
in
our
hands.

development,
do
us
all

Passion
can
