Here are some quotes I especially like about design.

• “Everything is design. Everything!”

Paul Rand.

• “In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains and sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.”

Steve Jobs, Apple Computer.

• “Design depends largely on constraints.”

Charles Eames.

• “Designers solve problems for clients. Artists solve problems for humanity. The latter is the greatest problem.”

John Maeda.

• “Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”

Frank Lloyd Wright.

• “When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.”

Buckminster Fuller.

• “Beauty without depth is just decoration.”

Metadesign.

• Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on Simplicity.

Plato
