    Some people will always find a thing missing; required to achieve something. Some people will always find a way around difficulties and achieve something.

    Everywhere I look I see the same damn thing run and control people’s lives…hate, confusion and fear. There’s always gonna those who hate on you for no f***ing reason, situations where you don’t know what is right and what is wrong, people judging you on every f***ing thing you do. Well f*** it. I don’t care for hate or fear, I choose to live free.

    No I am not perfect. No I am not the most charming. Nor the smartest, strongest, most positive. In fact I can be the biggest smartass, douche, or frustrating person to deal with…but when the world is ending you can depend on me for one thing…watching your back, making sure nothing bad ever happens to you. True friends arent the ones who are perfect…its the ones who are imperfect but care deeply enough to wanna keep you alive and well.

    — Jeffrey Zeldman

    People think that design is styling. Design is not style. It’s not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing.

    — Paola Antonelli

    Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up.

    I’m convinced that without bad design, the world would be a far less stimulating place; we would have nothing to marvel over and nothing to be nostalgic about.

    — Carrie Phillips

    Behavioral design is all about feeling in control. Includes: usability, understanding, but also the feel.

    — Don Norman

    — Robynne Raye

    Design is a means toward accomplishing the end goals of serving markets and generating profits. Furthermore, design is an element in social responsibility. Good design allows “form to complement performance.” The way things look is not irrelevant to the way things work: how they work is how they should look.

    — Thomas F. Schutte

    Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end.

    — Colin Wright

    Many desperate acts of design (including gradients, drop shadows, and the gratuitous use of transparency) are perpetuated in the absence of a strong concept. A good idea provides a framework for design decisions, guiding the work.

    — Noreen Morioka

My answer was then, “I made this happen. It’s called design.”

    — Brian Webb

    Most [clients] expect experience design to be a discrete activity, solving all their problems with a single functional specification or a single research study.

    — Dan Brown

    Technology over technique produces emotionless design.

    — Erik Adigard

    — Adrian Forty

    Many things difficult to design prove easy to perform.

    — Samuel Johnson

    The designer is a visually literate person, just as an editor is expected by training and inclination to be versed in language and literature, but to call the former an artist by occupation is as absurd as to refer to the latter as a poet.

    — Douglas Martin

    Questions about whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable. The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all. Everyone makes design decisions all the time without realizing it—like Moliere’s M. Jourdain who discovered he had been speaking prose all his life—and good design is simply the result of making these decisions consciously, at the right stage, and in consultation with others as the need arises.

    — Douglas Martin

    Design is easy. All you do is stare at the screen until drops of blood form on your forehead.

    — Marty Neumeier

    The only important thing about design is how it relates to people.

    — Victor Papanek

    Our opportunity, as designers, is to learn how to handle the complexity, rather than shy away from it, and to realize that the big art of design is to make complicated things simple.

    — Tim Parsey

    The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. He new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.

    — Paul Rand

    Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun, and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a process. Design is the foundation of all the arts.

    — Paul Rand

    Designing a product is designing a relationship.

    — Steve Rogers

    It is easy to fail when designing an interactive experience. Designers fail when they do not know the audience, integrate the threads of content and context, welcome the public properly, or make clear what the experience is and what the audience’s role in it will be.

    — Edwin Schlossberg

    Good design is good business.

    — Thomas J. Watson Jr.

    Great design will not sell an inferior product, but it will enable a great product to achieve its maximum potential.

    — Thomas J. Watson Jr.

    …designers can make life more bearable by producing stuff that touches its audience rather than fucks them in the head.

    — Jon Wozencraft

    The fundamental failure of most graphic, product, architectural, and even urban design is its insistence on serving the God of Looking-Good rather than the God of Being-Good.

    — Richard Saul Wurman

    Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

    — Charles Eames

    Everything is designed. Few things are designed well.

    — Brian Reed

    There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.

    — Massimo Vignelli

    People ignore design that ignores people.

    — Frank Chimero

    I’ve always held to the belief that the practice of creating compelling graphic design occurs not by employing the principals of a democracy, but rather, that of a monarchy.

    — Thomas Vasquez

    Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.

    — Joe Sparano

    Every designers’ dirty little secret is that they copy other designers’ work. They see work they like, and they imitate it. Rather cheekily, they call this inspiration.

    — Aaron Russell

    The most innovative designers consciously reject the standard option box and cultivate an appetite for thinking wrong.

    — Marty Neumeier

    Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk everything with no guaranteed benefit.

    — Scott Stevenson

    Design is where science and art break even.

    — Robin Mathew

    Good design goes to heaven; bad design goes everywhere.

    — Valerie Pettis

    Design should never say, “Look at me.” It should always say, “Look at this.”

    — David Craib

    Bad design is smoke, while good design is a mirror.

    — Juan-Carlos Fernàndez

    Don’t design for everyone. It’s impossible. All you end up doing is designing something that makes everyone unhappy.

    — Leisa Reichelt

    Design is as much an act of spacing as an act of marking.

    — Ellen Lupton

    The design process, at its best, integrates the aspirations of art, science, and culture.

    — Jeff Smith
