Design for the Open Mind

While doing some research for my second credit project in Comm, I came across some fun quotes about design. For your reading pleasure...

It’s art if can’t be explained.
It’s fashion if no one asks for an explanation.
It’s design if it doesn't need explanation.
Wouter Stokkel

A camel is a horse designed by a committee.

Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end.
— Colin Wright

The difference between a Designer and Developer, when it comes to design skills, is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it.
— Scott Hanselman

Designing a product is designing a relationship.
— Steve Rogers

Being a designer is like being a porn star. You're hot and popular for a year or two, then everyone goes off and finds something new to screw around to.
- Jason Demetillo

Broken gets fixed, shoddy lasts forever.
