The difference between a Designer and Developer when it comes to design skills, is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it.
Scott Hanselman
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
If you know how to use a pencil to draw, you could draw anything. Now apply that to everything in life.
Justin Durban
Its art if cant be explained. Its fashion if no one asks for an explanation. Its design if it doesnt need explanation
Wouter Stokkel
Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
Paul Rand
Design is in everything we make, but its also between those things. It's a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy.
Erik Adigard
Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition.
Freeman Thomas
Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good, not just looking good.
Clement Mok
Design is the contrast of the core of limitations therefore there are no boundaries. It is simply an interpretation of creativity.
Jenaiha Woods
Art attests to what is inhuman in man.
Alain Badiou
To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.
Charles Eames
Graphic design is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, abnormality, hobbies and humours.
George Santayana
Art is man added to Nature.
Francis Bacon
