Six Myths of the Art Market

When Artists Die, The Value Of Their Art Goes Up. This is everyone’s favorite, but it just ain’t so. With very famous artists, the postmortem market is usually flooded with works people are hoping to cash in on. With all other artists, the sad truth is that they and their work will soon be forgotten, unless they have a “keeper of the flame”, stoking the fires of their market with exhibitions, publications and heavy marketing.http://www.bernardewell.com/good_to_know/what_are_the_six_myths_of_the_art_market.html

Lessons from Doom

While some of Doom’s levels have a very thin fiction via their title (eg “Hangar”) and general texturing theme, if you actually explore them you find they only resemble real locations in the loosest sense possible. This is precisely what allowed Doom’s level design to present a wide variety of interesting tactical setups. Level designers didn’t have to worry about whether a change made something look less like a hangar or a barracks, just whether it was better for gameplay.
