Design Quotes










“To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master”
—Milton Glaser

“We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.”
—John Ruskin, 1880

“Questions about whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable. The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all.”
—Douglas Martin, 1989

These and other words of design wisdom can be found at the Interface Design Quotes page of LukeW Interface Designs.

Enjoy.

babelfish translates it as "miracle chamber," which I'm sure is wrong (it being babelfish), but what a wonderful phrase anyway!
