Working with Design People

I think design concepts are interesting and getting to work in this space is pretty cool, but in the back of my mind I suspect there’s more than a few people in this industry like the guy in this video below, explaining design.  Conceptually, he’s pretty far out there and first word that comes to my mind is ‘asshat’, but that’s not fair to him or others like him since I don’t have firsthand experience with the type.  However, from another Core77 reference this week, a study of the links between mental illness and creativity might explain why I’m not at this guys level.  These examples make me appreciate working with analytical hard-asses with unrelenting drive for delivery of facts and figures.  Refer to the original Core77 link for background on this video, but it’s funny even without.
