Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative
people how they did something, they feel a little guilty
because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It
seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they
were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize
new things.
Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation
that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the
product or service.
It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of
times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to
them.
Steve Jobs

produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing.
Paola Antonelli

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

15.
A designer can mull over complicated designs for months.
Then suddenly the simple, elegant, beautiful solution occurs

day - only much more complicated and not really the same at all.
Robynne Raye
Design is a means toward accomplishing the end goals of serving
markets and generating profits. Furthermore, design is an
element in social responsibility. Good design allows “form to
complement performance.” The way things look is not irrelevant
to the way things work: how they work is how they should look.

15
A camel is a horse designed by a committee.
Sir Alec Issigonis

16.

provides a framework for design decisions, guiding the work.

I would show my jobs to my mother, and she would always say
the same thing: “That’s nice dear.”•And then she would say, ”Did

pictures?”•I’d always answer “no,”•then I realized the problem.
My answer was then, “I made this happen. It’s called design.”•
Brian Webb
Most [clients] expect experience design to be a discrete activity,
solving all their problems with a single functional specification
or a single research study. It must be an ongoing effort, a
process of continually learning about users, responding to their
behaviors, and evolving the product or service.
Dan Brown

17.

21.
Many things difficult to design prove easy to perform.

The designer is a visually literate person, just as an editor is expected
by training and inclination to be versed in language and literature, but

latter as a poet.

Design is easy. All you do is stare at the screen until drops of blood
form on your forehead.
Marty Neumeier
The only important thing about design is how it relates to people.
Victor Papanek

complexity, rather than shy away from it, and to realize that the big art
of design is to make complicated things simple.

21

22.
The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in
effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives
with. He new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.
Paul Rand
Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design
is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun,
and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a
process. Design is the foundation of all the arts.
Paul Rand
Designing a product is designing a relationship.
Steve Rogers
It is easy to fail when designing an interactive experience. Designers
fail when they do not know the audience, integrate the threads of

the experience is and what the audience’s role in it will be.
Edwin Schlossberg
22

23.

example - but it's the wine that matters, not the vessel it comes in.

preserving bits of data like to many butterflies pinned to felt in a
jewel box.

The sudden hunch, the creative leap of mind that “sees” in a
flash how to solve a problem in a simple way, is something quite

communicate ideas through the organizing and manipulating of words
and pictures.

Designers deal in ideas. They give shape to ideas that shape our
world, enrich everyday experiences, and improve our lives. Where
there's confusion, designers fashion clarity; where there's chaos,

vitality; there there's indifference, designers swell passion; where
there's mediocrity, designers imbue excellence; and where there's
silence, designers lend voice.

Design is a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and
philosophy.
Erik Adigard
Design is the concious effort to impose a meaninful order.
Victor Papanek
A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a
thousand pictures.

Everybody is a user experience designer.
Whitney Hess
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in
the proportion.
Francis Bacon
You have to be interested in culture to design for it.
Lorraine Wild
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Louis I. Kahn
Think 8 hours, work 2 hours.
Mirko Ilic
I really like looking at design and thinking: that attention to detail
must have taken absolutely ages.

Photoshop is a privilege, not a right.

Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve
human problems by identifying them and executing the best
solution.
Ivan Chermayeff
We are all designers, the difference is that only a few of us do it
full-time.
Sabo Tercero
Being a designer is like being a porn star. You’re hot & popular
for a year or two, then everyone goes off and finds something
new to screw around too.
Jason Demetillo
I’m creative because I did an icon navigation while everyone else
on the planet sticks to words? No, it just means I didn’t want to
stick to convention. If anything you can call it rebellious but
certainly not creative.
Paul Scrivens

That’s what all we are: amateurs. We don’t live long enough to be
anything else.
Charlie Chaplin
It took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn
how to draw it in a few seconds.
Paula Scher
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert Einstein
Inspiration is hogwash. My work comes directly out of my loves and
hates. Muses don’t whisper in my ear, and ideas don’t flow over my
body like a cool rain.
James Victore
Your opinion won’t matter. It’s important that you prove your point
with numbers.

Inspiration the seed. Design but the flower.
Michael Langham
Typography at its best is a visual form of language linking
timelessness and time.
Robert Bringhurst
Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is
often to ruin it.
Miguel de Cervantes
What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity
that also becomes useful…
Michelle Obama
The more uninteresting the letter, the more useful it is to the
typographer.
Piet Zwart
A healthy creative process should be able to give a coherent
rationale to a client as to why you designed what you designed.

Luke Wroblewski
Creativity is in everyone; it just manifests itself differently with
each person. My CPA, for example, is one of the most creative
people I know.
Ron Miriello
If there's one thing you learn by working on a lot of different Web
sites, it's that almost any design idea--no matter how appallingly
bad--can be made usable in the right circumstances, with enough
effort.
Steve Krug
Intuitive design is how we give the user new superpowers.
Jared Spool
Designers love subtle cues, because subtlety is one of the traits
of sophisticated design. But Web users are generally in such a
hurry that they routinely miss subtle cues.
Steve Krug

The problem is there are no simple “right” answers for most Web
design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works
is good, integrated design that fills a need—carefully thought out,
well executed, and tested.
As a rule, conventions only become conventions if they work.
It doesn’t matter how many times I have to click, as long as each
click is a mindless, unambiguous choice.
In reality, though, most of the time we don’t choose the best
option—we choose the first reasonable option, a strategy known as
satisficing.
If you want a great site, you’ve got to test. After you’ve worked on a
site for even a few weeks, you can’t see it freshly anymore. You
know too much. The only way to find out if it really works is to test
it.
Steve Krug

Websites should look good from the inside and out.
Websites promote you 24/7: No employee will do that.
A website without SEO is like a car with no gas.
Running a business without marketing will kill it.
Great web design without functionality is like a sports car with
no engine.
Paul Cookson
Most sites need to prevent breadth — many many pages that are
organized cohesively. A site that presents a single webpage is
unlikely to present sufficient depth of content to justify extensive
SEO.
The SCO trick is to draw traffic with desirable content, and to
’seduce’ the traffic into portions of the site that may not directly
have anything to do with the content — this is the ultimate goal of
the SEO campaign.
Harold Davis

Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading
hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and
personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously
hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives
engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk
everything with no guaranteed benefit.
Scott Stevenson
Remember, the web isn't about control. If a visitor to your site is
familiar with using a browser's native form doodad, you won't
be doing them any favors if you override the browser
functionality with your own widget, even if you think your
widget looks better.
Jeremy Keith
The site's look and feel (and overall UX) feels 10 years old. I wouldn't
trust the content EVEN if it were great, because the UX is so rough.
Rand Fishkin

Why is it when some people decide to ask for some action, they
lose their minds on the appearance of the page? Bad fonts,
garish colors, cheap highlighting, and silly clip art do not make
for better conversions in most cases. What they do is crush your
credibility
Brian Clark
The other big factor in building trust quickly is site design
quality. Mint.com has one of the best graphic designers ever
(Jason Putorti) – he cares about every pixel, all the fonts, all the
transparencies and effects. And that shows instantly. People do
make judgments of trust on appearance – in the real world and
online.
Aaron Patzer
When a designer gives you a bill, what do you see it as? An
expense, right? When a designer gives me a bill, I see it as an
investment. For me, it is something that appreciates and helps
your business grow.
Neil Patel

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
Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate
and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual
voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always
retaining their identity.
Good Web design is about the character of the content, not the
character of the designer.
Jeffrey Zeldman
​In my experience, too many small business owners either spend too
little on their website (and hence miss an important opportunity to
leverage the Internet) or they spend too much in the wrong places.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The
round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You
can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify
or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because
they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore.
They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they
have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a
work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or
gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some see
them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy
enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
