Tags: Matter, Opinion, SweetTo design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit: it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse. To design is to transform prose into poetry.
Tags: Design, Poetry, ValueWithout the aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance, form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form.
Tags: Computer, Content, MeaningfulDesign is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
Tags: Art, Design, SimpleSimplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.

Tags: Rules, Style, WrittenDesign is everything. Everything!
Tags: DesignIn the Orthodox religion, you don't draw the human figure. It's against the rules.
Tags: Against, Human, ReligionThe reason I always insisted on signing my work was not to be subordinate to anyone.
Tags: Anyone, Reason, WorkAny system that sees aesthetics as irrelevant, that separates the artist from his product, that fragments the work of the individual, or creates by committee, or makes mincemeat of the creative process will, in the long run, diminish not only the product but the maker as well.
Tags: Creative, Makes, WorkArtistic tricks divert from the effect that an artist endeavors to produce, and even excellent elements such as bullets, arrows, brackets, ornate initials, are at best superficial ornamentation unless logically employed.
Tags: Artist, Best, ExcellentAsymmetric balance creates greater reader interest. Pleasure derived from observing asymmetrical arrangements lies partly in overcoming resistances, which, consciously or not, the spectator adjusts in his own mind.
Tags: Balance, Lies, MindCopy, art, and typography should be seen as a living entity; each element integrally related, in harmony with the whole, and essential to the execution of an idea.
Tags: Art, Living, WholeDesign is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process.
Tags: Knowledge, Life, TechnologyGraphic design, which evokes the symmetria of Vituvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt, generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of coordinates, is not good design if it does not communicate.
