Does constraint positively influence creativity?
Creativity is the combining of two or more elements in order to synthesize something new. We all demonstrate creative thinking, daily, hourly, minute-by-minute.
We do not judge wether it's a good or bad expression of creativity, but we accept that this expression has resulted in a familiar likeness with this new thing.

Updating My Blog
Hello people on the internet. I have been busy designing, building, creating, making, and running.
I'm also modifying the design of the blog, and should have this completed within the next two weeks.
In the meantime; Feel free to try out a few products I've been working on. Feedback was so positive, that I built a company and brand around the products themselves. The process, brand, and products have evolved organically with lo-fi feedback from people using the web app versions.

History of design
I was asked on Quora, What is the history of design?
Which was followed by a video that proposed it knew the origin, as if it were a succinct, concise point in time. I'm not going to post the video, but I find these types of broad and over generalized answers really confuse people. And in some cases, they convolute the means to understanding what design is.
Design is a function, not a specific form.
This is a very broad question.

Flexible identity and dynamic identity
What is the difference?
In my professional opinion; nothing.
They're both over-intellectualized representations of contemporary identity creation practices.
Using a graphic to house, contain, float behind, or otherwise contrast a symbol or corresponding graphic does not present information to the audience any differently upon initial inspection.
Broadcast designers have utilized these techniques for many years.

Agency Compensation Arrangements
Can we bill based on contingency-based arrangements?
No, not in my experience.
Who would agree to such a structure—based solely on emotional responses and an individual's unique perception of each brand experience?
The logical fallacy in this question is: Brand equity is not quantifiable. Branding is not enduring. While a brand name may be persistent, the perception and definition of it, changes over time. It should, in order to stay relevant.

Securely yours,
With recent events, involving government and hackers alike, I'm disturbed by the amount of rhetoric circulating online the perpetuates the notion that Free services or products mean a trade-off or the sacrifice of your privacy. Both as an individual and consumer, privacy should never be treated as a commodity. But of course, it's being marketed that way.
Free does not make for consent of an invasion of privacy.

My challenge so far: writing
I'm currently trying my hand at it (well, for almost two years, on a super personal project), so this rhetoric comes from a beginner:
Writing Sci-fi is difficult. The future is expected to be perfect or better than, so you're forced to juxtapose contemporary drama over it.

Generic Rules for Typography
Concordance is the most common rule that I'm aware of. But most importantly, balance and symmetry in the blocks of copy they create.
When objectively defining type pairs, I think it's important to consider the type of content, space it's being seen in, and the message it's communicating.
There is not a generic rule. And I'm confessing to a crime I repeatedly commit: I shot the serif.
