Danny Outlaw publicou recentemente uma lista de
50 Citações Inspiradoras sobre a Arte e Ciência do Design. Das 50 seleccionei 9, aquelas que mais se enquadram na minha definição de design e ao mesmo tempo definem o meu modelo ideal de trabalho.
Milton GlaserTo design is
to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.
Jim JarmuschNothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it.
Steve JobsDesign is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is
how it works.
Nolan BushnellThe ultimate inspiration is the
deadline.
John MaedaIf there were a prerequisite for the future successful digital creative, it would be the passion for
discovery.
Freeman ThomasGood design begins with
honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your
intuition.
Massimo VignelliI see graphic design as the organization of information that is
semantically correct,
syntactically consistent and
pragmatically understandable.
Erik AdigardDesign is in everything we make, but it’s also
between those things. It's a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy.
Paul RandIt is no secret that the real world in which the designer functions is not the world of art, but the world of
buying and selling.
