I’ve always held to the belief that the
practice of creating compelling graphic design occurs not by employing the

Good design is obvious. Great design is

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.

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

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.

Design is the search for a magical
balance between business and art; art and craft; intuition and reason; concept
and detail; playfulness and formality; client and designer; designer and
printer; and printer and public.

Content precedes design. Design in the
absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.

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.

them.

human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers
of the product or service.

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.

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

Good design must be defined by
appropriateness to audience and goals, and by its effectiveness, not by its
adherence to Swiss design or the number of awards it wins.
