Interview with Attila Jónás
Designer Interview
13 April 2013
When I was young , I always wanted to be a car designer. I wanted be a car designer until I become 19. It was 1,5 years ago, when came lots of influences by my teachers, masters and friends. I don't want to close my boundaries only for cars, because now I'm interested in everything. I still want to be a car designer, but I want to try everything and be open-minded in this profession.
I have my own brand : JA Design. My design studio is my home and work alone there,but it is not and official studio. Only that's how I want to name my own design studio in the future.
Design is my hobby, my life goal and self-expression.
When I have to find a solution for problems, it's very exciting for me.
I haven't got one favorite design, I have lots of favorite designs and not only by famous designers.For example: designs by random designers, student designers from Yankodesign. My favorite designs are always very simple.
The first thing what I designed for a company is a luxury safe. I'm designing it right now, so this is my first job.
All materials and technologies have their its beauty.
When I have a stroke of genius.
Less is more, be as simple as you can. Doing a complicated design knows everyone who wants to design. Doing the simpliest solution : that is difficult.
Joy with lots of problems.
Only joy for everyone.
Do you mean that successful designs are beautiful for us or we like that design? If yes, it's very subjective. If you want a formula for it, you can't do it because it is a very complex thing. You can only follow your heart and feelings when you design.
Is this the simpliest or best solution?
Everybody knows that we have to be green in this world because it's not gonna end well if we pollute our environment.
The design is always evolved by technics. I think design evolution is always good if it helps people in everyday life.
My last exhibition was at my hometown. I want to hold my newt exhibition where lots of people are interested about me. I do not know where is that place yet.
We have to talk with other people about our thoughts and about their thoughts. (not only with designers, with everyone)
Less is more and doing the simpliest solution for everything.
I think that only people around us can affect our design, not a country, where we born.
I always need a stroke of genius, then comes the brainstorming,skething , then modelling it in 3D. If I have money to do it in real life, I do it.
My favourite design item is my grandfather's Russian watch and my grandfather's 1969 Jawa Mustang what is mine now. Then my long black coat with my hat and my glasses.
I cannot describe my days of my life. Every day is different. I work, I sleep, I have fun with my friends when I want or have time for it. When I work a lot , and when the work is done after that I am a little bit lazy sometimes. But after relaxing I always start a new project, because I always have ideas what I have to draw and work on it. I can say that my hobby is my work.
I am young too so I can say that do not give up your dreams, beacuse the best thing what you can do in your life is fighting for something or someone.
I do not consider myself ad a designer. Someone is a designer because others consider him/her as a designer. It is like an artist never says on him/herself that : I am an artist! , because if he/she says he/she is not an artist.
Find yourself.
Creativity
A small notebook with a pen for brainstorming. Then my laptop to digitalize my ideas. (Sketchbook,Photoshop, Rhino 4)
With lots of coffee and green tea.
Minimum 1 month.
When I have to find a solution in design. I enjoy it because when I do this , I feel that I work on something important and it is exciting for me beacuse it is like unblinding.
To be between the best designers.
I have not got a team yet so I work alone.
