Design : (50) " We must use design to inspire better outcomes. " - Dean Phillips " 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 " Form must never trump function. Some objects are made to look so smooth, you don’t know where to pick them up or how to turn them on. If I’m designing a garlic press or cheese grater, I need my hand to fit comfortably on it. I like to know, instinctively, how to use it. " - Michael Graves " I’m an American designer. It’s important to riff on that. I remember, when my mom and I first came to the States, she was so shocked that everyone was so dressed down in sandals and shorts. It’s not quite like that in Asia. To give that a superluxurious makeover? For me to make street wear? It’s sort of chic to do it. " - Jason Wu " I’m fascinated with design. I realized early that I had no talent in that direction, but I love talking with architects and designers about what they do. I appreciate applied creativity as a source of pleasure and meaning. " - Alex Steffen " And just when we were at the end of our design process there was the news that the Italian government and the U.S. government had signed an agreement to fly the first Italian astronaut on that flight. " - Umberto Guidoni " In designing shoes for myself; I’m not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I’m just not thinking of clothes at all. I’m always thinking of a naked woman, actually. " - Christian Louboutin " I want to live in a space that I designed, that is for me. " - Guillermo del Toro " By means of tracing-paper I transfer my design to the wood and draw on that. " - John Tenniel " I’d like to be able to design as easily as if I was using Photoshop. I’d like to be able to create a multicolumn layout and control source order without having to do advanced mathematics or hire Eric Meyer or Dan Cederholm to figure out the CSS, because I can’t.
