And evidence for first design comes 75,000 years old - beads. And you can do the same with your genes and track them back in time.101
David CarsonI'm a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that's sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting - whatever it is.101
David McCandlessInformation design has been around since the 1970s. Pioneers like Yale University design guru Edward Tufte and design agency Pentagram have long known and used its power. But now with the rise of the Internet, it's having something of a second birth.101
David McFaddenOutside of the chair, the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design has ended up designing one.101

Eric CarleThat's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany, and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.101
Eva ZeiselI don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets.101
Freeman ThomasGood design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition.101

Carrie-Anne MossPeople tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.101
Harry BertoiaThe urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living.101
Michael GravesGood design should be available to everyone - and I do mean everyone. What I spent on the wheelchair I'm in could buy a small Mercedes. It's not only unfair to me; it's unfair to someone who's indigent but has the same needs. My goal is to make all objects affordable.101
Mike DavidsonI don't start with a design objective, I start with a communication objective. I feel my project is successful if it communicates what it is supposed to communicate.101

Troy DumaisPools have their own uniqueness, design and engineering to depict culture, history or innovation.101
Ayumi HamasakiI don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.101
Brenda LaurelI fervently believe in research as a necessity for good design, and I teach it that way.101

Cesar PelliI realize that having a style would be very beneficial for my practice from a marketing standpoint, but I can't do it.

Each place has a distinct culture and function, which for me requires an appropriate answer.101
Colleen HaskellI love graphic design. I love working with design, and I love storytelling, so I've been working on a children's book for a while, and I'd like to see that through.101

Glenn ThompsonObamacare is terminal. It is going to fail under the crushing weight of its own flawed design.101
John MaedaI like stuff designed by dead people. The old designers. They always got it right because they didn't have to grow up with computers. All of the people that made the spoon and the dishes and the vacuum cleaner didn't have microprocessors and stuff. You could do a good design back then.101

Ron JohnsonDesign works if it's authentic, inspired, and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.101

Robert HormatsAs the world's 'most dynamic' cities seek to manage their own urban growth, American state and local officials have much to offer.

Robert McKeeClassical design is a mirror of the human mind. It's how we see the world.101
Rogier van der HeideBy appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives.101

Adam FergusonEvery step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.101

Anne-Marie WillisWe design our world, while our world acts back on us and designs us.101
Michael HansmeyerThe traditional notion of an architect having a vision of a building and then drawing it either on paper or on a computer and then constructing it isn't really how architecture works, and in reality, the computer has a lot of influence on design.101
Jean PatouI wouldn't know how to design. I couldn't even if I wanted to, for I can't draw, and a pair of scissors in my hands becomes a dangerous weapon.101
Jimmy ChooI love the idea of couture and its emphasis on creation. There's where I made my name - in design - and there's where I'd like to stay.101

Glenn GreenwaldEmbedded in 'The New York Times' institutional perspective and reporting methodologies are all sorts of quite debatable and subjective political and cultural assumptions about the world. And with some noble exceptions, 'The Times,' by design or otherwise, has long served the interests of the same set of elite and powerful factions.102
Issey MiyakeDesign is not for philosophy it's for life.102
Kevin SystromPeople interact with their phones very differently than they do with their PCs, and I think that when you design from the ground up with mobile in mind, you create a very different product than going the other way.102
Olivia Newton-JohnI love to design and remodel houses, from working with the contractors to picking the colours, materials, kitchen and bathroom accessories to finally what furniture goes where.102
Paul RandGraphic 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.102
Robert RauschenbergSo that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.102
SkrillexHip-hop and electronic music are so similar, in the fact that they're both very visceral, have so much bass; a lot of times, it's the same tempos. The culture and some of the sound design is different but a lot of times, it's the same stuff.102
Tom PetersAlmost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures.102
Victor PapanekThe only important thing about design is how it relates to people.102
Walter GropiusOur guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.102

Matt MullenwegThere are two main methodologies of open source development. There's the Apache model, which is design by committee - great for things like web servers. Then you have the benevolent dictator model. That's what Ubuntu is doing, with Mark Shuttleworth.102
Robert ScobleIt's not enough to have a hacker culture anymore. You have to have a design culture, too.102
William LandayI am interested in computers and technology, and art, photography, and design.102
Anton CorbijnApart from photography and music videos, I also do graphic design.102
Erik BrynjolfssonThere are lots of examples of routine, middle-skilled jobs that involve relatively structured tasks, and those are the jobs that are being eliminated the fastest. Those kinds of jobs are easier for our friends in the artificial intelligence community to design robots to handle them. They could be software robots; they could be physical robots.102
Genevieve GorderSo, to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy, that's a great reward.102
Gianfranco FerreThe design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city are all the same process.102
Harry TreadawayI may live in London, but I'll go back to the country one day. My dad's an architect, so I would like him to design me a house. I'd love to be in the countryside when I'm older.102
Linwood BarclayOnce you come up with a premise, you have to work out how it all happened. It's a bit like coming up with a spectacular roof design first. Before you can get it up there, you need to build a solid foundation and supporting structure.102
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo'LaFerrari' means 'the Ferrari.' The excellence. In this car, we put everything we are able to do. Our extreme technology, extreme experience, extreme capability. And this has been the first Ferrari totally designed in our design center.102
Michael KorsThere are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?102
Peter EisenmanI would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.102
Raymond LoewyGood design keeps the user happy, the manufacturer in the black and the aesthete unoffended.102
Rem KoolhaasDesigns are increasingly winning competitions because they are literally green, and because somewhere they feature a small windmill.102
Ben ParrGoogle has placed its faith in data, while Apple worships the power of design. This dichotomy made the two companies complementary. Apple would ship the phones and computers, while Google would provide Maps, Search, YouTube, and other web tools that made the devices more useful.102
David M. KelleyThe main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you're trying to design for. Leadership is exactly the same thing - building empathy for the people that you're entrusted to help.102
Ethan CoenBeing non-commercial is never an ambition. Movies come together at different points for fortuitous reasons. You do them as you get the opportunity, as opposed to doing them when you choose to or design to.102
Gabriel BassoI'm an artist. So if acting doesn't work out, which I hope it does, I'm probably going to go into graphic design or something like that.102
James HongMy dad wanted me to be a professional person, which I was - I was a civil engineer. I graduated from civil engineering at USC in California. I became an engineer, and I helped design the roads for the L.A. County Roads Department. And I did that for about one and a half years in a sense to please my parents - to be a 'respectable' person.102
Luis von AhnGame design is a funny thing. There are people out there who are really good at it, but it's not clear that they can teach it. It's a very intuitive process. It's an art.102
Marshall CurryAfter college, I did a bunch of different jobs - taught English in Mexico, worked in public radio, worked for a web design company - but there was something about documentaries that really attracted me.102
Trevor DonovanI graduated from school for graphic design, and I started to get into acting class just to get over severe fright. I was an extremely shy person. I could barely say hello to anybody.102
Ayumi HamasakiI do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.102
B. J. NovakDifferent people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over.102
Janine TurnerLonghorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design.102
Michael AradWhen I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.102
Russ CarnahanAfter the Great Depression and after public urging, a nationwide public competition was held to determine a design for a memorial that would honor President Thomas Jefferson's bold vision for westward expansion for America.102
Scott WesterfeldI've learned a lot about stage-managing for illustration. Sometimes you have to delete characters from a scene just to keep from overcrowding the image. I've also learned to making big-scale design decisions early.102
Stacey BendetI don't have a traditional design background, but it's inherent to me. My father was in the fabric industry, and even my grandfather and my great-grandfather were lace manufacturers.102
Steve MaddenI could design an $800 shoe line; it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.102
Ty PenningtonDesign can change how you look at yourself.102
Charles PellyUltimately, auto designers need to overcome market challenges with innovative design solutions. The automotive industry is at a turning point with environmental and economic conditions on one side and breakthrough technology on the other, so it will be fascinating to see how these design leaders envision the future.102
Charlie ByrdA person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.102
James BlakeDubstep has everything for me. Rhythm, sound design, heartfelt emotion - all in one place.102
Millard DrexlerI'm looking for best practices constantly. Apple has beautiful design, beautiful product, incredibly functional. But mostly it's about picking product, getting behind it, marketing it and introducing it to a customer. What they've done just inspires me.102
Clement MokDesign, 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.102
Donald Wills DouglasWhen you design it, think how you would feel if you had to fly it! Safety first!102
Dorothy DunnettYou all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme; that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life.102
James Randolph AdamsGreat designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.102
Jane JacobsDesign is people.102
Jil SanderI think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.102
Andrew J. FeustelWhile I was at community college, I studied industrial design because I thought maybe I'd be an automotive designer - I grew up in Detroit - and I also studied, geology because I was interested in science, a little bit.102
Marc KoskaI read a newspaper article in May 1984 which predicted that syringes would one day be a major cause of the transmission of HIV. It was what I had been waiting for - a project that had a lot of the things that I liked: problem-solving, product design, campaigning, and being a bit of a big mouth pain-in-the-bum.102
Jefferson HanIf you watched companies such as Sony and Samsung grow, they focused first on features and then on industrial design, which made their products look and feel better.102
James HallWe want people to realize you are at a design school, not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.102
Jonathan SchellThe world is not to be approached, blueprint in hand, as if it were so much raw material waiting to be fashioned to someone's design.102
Richard DawkinsDesign can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection.103
Antoine de Saint-ExuperyA designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.103
Charles EamesDesign is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.103
Donald NormanIn my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone.103
Jonathan IveIt is sad that so many designers don't know how to make. CAD software can make a bad design look palatable! It is sad that four years can be spent on a 3D design course without making anything! People who are great at designing and making have a great advantage.103
Kate MossI'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.103
Lee StrobelIntelligent design is consistent with any faith system I can think of, because most faith systems believe that there is a creator.103
Neill BlomkampThere has to be the popcorn genre element, or I don't engage the same way. I like action and vehicle design and guns and computer graphics as much as I like allegory. It's a constant balancing game. I want audiences to be on this rollercoaster that fits the Hollywood mould, but I also want them to absorb my observations.103
Ralph LaurenI went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment.103
Robert WinstonNearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do.103
Stefan SagmeisterI didn't think that personal style had much value in graphic design.103
Umberto GuidoniAnd 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.103
Valentino GaravaniEven as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.103
Victor PapanekDesign, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsive, must be revolutionary and radical.103
Alexander WangI'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.103
David CarsonFor some reason I have a visual intuition that allows me to design things in an interesting way, and I don't know where that came from. Because I don't have this formal training, I seem to drift in a different direction.103
Fritz ZwickyThe universe is so unique and perfect that it could not have originated by chance but was divined by flawless, creative design.103
Jamais CascioPreventing global warming from becoming a planetary catastrophe may take something even more drastic than renewable energy, superefficient urban design, and global carbon taxes.103
John MalkovichI like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.103
Lynn SheltonThere's always so much more that can be conveyed on screen visually in the expressions of people's faces, in their bodies, in their body language. And also with sound design, with music.103
Manolo BlahnikAbout half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.103
Nick D'AloisioI like playing sport. I'm a bit of a design enthusiast, and like spending time with my girlfriend and mates.103
Tim PawlentyThere is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact, it is their plan and design to kill people.103
William A. DembskiIntelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system.103
Biz StoneWhen I studied graphic design, I learned a valuable lesson: There's no perfect answer to the puzzle, and creativity is a renewable resource.103
Genie FrancisI've always loved interior design.103
Greg LynnWith everything that I design, from a church to a plate to skyscraper to a spoon. I am always thinking about voluptuous volumes and spaces.103
Neil GershenfeldThe real opportunity is to harness the inventive power of the world to locally design and produce solutions to local problems.103
Prabal GurungI'm constantly thinking about design, shapes, patterns and colors, so I just want to be more of a blank canvas. But there is a comfort in knowing what you're going to wear, and that probably comes from Catholic school, where I wore a uniform for 10 years.103
Cindy GallopI design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.103
George Edmund StreetIt is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.103
Marc NewsonI think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.103
Catherine MartinI love every period in design history. Even the ugly ones.103
Chris KirkpatrickI enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.103
Dave deBronkartI'm an e-patient: equipped, enabled, empowered, engaged. I'm no clinician, but I do everything in my power to help them, to play an active role in my own care, and even in the design of care.103
Douglas TrumbullIBM was the original contractor for much of the computer interface design on the film.103
Jay RoachMy biggest role as director on the film is keeping a sense of the overview - how to cast the movie and shoot it in such a way that it will cut together. And how to design the style and tone.103
Stephen SprouseI finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design.103
Charlotte RonsonI had always wanted to expand to beauty, but I knew I wanted to be able to translate my design aesthetic in an authentic way.103
Chip KiddI really liked the design of Batman. I liked the concept. There's a lot more you can do with Batman than most other superheroes.103
Cynthia BreazealThrough our evolution, we're so specialized for social interaction. So, if you can really design robots that can interact with people, in this very natural, interpersonal way, I think that would be great. You wouldn't have to have people read manuals, in order to operate them.103
Jesse James GarrettUser-centered design means understanding what your users need, how they think, and how they behave - and incorporating that understanding into every aspect of your process.103
Saul GriffithThe principal and only way to make an heirloom product is to design something that people will need not just this year, but for the next 50 or 100 years.103
Tony HoareThere are two methods in software design. One is to make the program so simple, there are obviously no errors. The other is to make it so complicated, there are no obvious errors.103
David BromstadTechnology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.103
James RouseFor many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.103
Mariam NaficyThe name Minted speaks to the freshness of our design - the fact that we are receiving thousands of new designs each week and selling freshly minted winners from our design competitions.103
Matt MickiewiczI was really just a hard-core geek, if you will, in 1996, and was building websites as a hobby. I started doing a lot of web design and development and built my first website on the now-defunct GeoCities platform.103
John TennielBy means of tracing-paper I transfer my design to the wood and draw on that.103
Bjarke IngelsSustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design challenge.104
Charles EamesThe details are not the details. They make the design. 104
Filippo BrunelleschiMany are ready, when listening to the inventor, to belittle and deny his achievements so that he will no longer be heard in honourable places, but after some months or a year, they use the inventor's words in speech or writing or design.104
Gianni VersaceI like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.104
Herbert A. SimonEveryone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.104
Jonathan IveEight years of work can be copied in six months. It wasn't inevitable that it was going to work. A stolen design is stolen time.104
Kevin McCloudI'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass.104
Louis KahnDesign is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.104
Stella McCartneyI am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.104
Yigal AzrouelI very rarely wear suits, and only make one or two per season, so it's about wanting exceptional clothes that don't feel stiff. Fabric and garment washing are a big part of my design process for that reason. Everything needs to feel lived-in and comfortable.104
Baba KalyaniBefore 2000, we were unable to design a single car; all the cars were designed in Japan, Europe or somewhere else. We were just converting.104
Henry PetroskiAll conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.104
Jack DangermondAppStudio is a native app builder that allows you to build the app and automatically deploy it on Android, iPhone, and Windows. It lets you design it once and then implement it anywhere.104
Kenzo TangeDesigns of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.104
Leonard BaskinOf course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.104
William BellI wear a lot of different hats - from writer to producer and artist. We all do 5 or 6 jobs, everything from creating our own graphic design to actually recording and the whole bit.104
Christine GregoireWhen nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.104
Eva ZeiselWhen I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.104
Giuseppe ZanottiYou cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion; it's too realistic. When I design, I dream.104
Graeme BaseI was always interested in art at school, and after year twelve, senior year, I spent three years studying graphic design at college. I worked in advertising for two years but didn't like it much, then began doing a bit of illustration work for various publishers.104
Jason ReitmanCan you design a Rorschach test that's going to make everyone feel something every time - and that looks like a Rorschach test? It's easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident. The question is, how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don't know what's happening to them?104
Leo FenderThe design of each element should be thought out in order to be easy to make and easy to repair.104
Palmer LuckeyI was interested in virtual reality for several years even before working at USC, it wasn't an interest that started there at all. In fact, when I started working at USC, I already had prototypes of the Rift that were very similar to the final design.104
Steven HollMy studio cube is an experiment in solar heating and design. The south wall is covered with glass planks that collect and distribute heat naturally to my work studio on the second level.104
Geoffrey BeeneDesign is an unknown.104
Guido van RossumIf you decide to design your own language, there are thousands of sort of amateur language designer pitfalls.104
Michael GravesIf I have a style, I am not aware of it.104
Robert SheaUltimately we may still ask, why can't humans design a perfect society?104
Sergio AragonesSometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.104
Tadashi ShojiSo many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it.104
Byron WhiteThe Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution.104
Chris KirkpatrickI'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.104
Don TapscottWherever you are, design your life. Live the values of your generation.104
Jamie WyethI had been elected to the National Academy of Design in New York, and one of the requirements was that you give a portrait, a self-portrait of yourself.104
Jan ChipchaseI specialise in taking teams of designers, psychologists, usability experts, sociologists and ethnographers into the field. It's called 'corporate anthropology,' but personally I'm more comfortable with 'design research,' because I'm not an anthropologist by training.104
Robin DayI would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.104
Ron EglashI started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry.104
Mickey HartWhen the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload, I learned electronics and speaker design.104
Rafael VinolyArchitects feel empowered to give opinions about politics and sociology and philosophy without knowing much about it. Kind of in the same way that they think they can design furniture or fashion or utensils for dining.104
Saul GriffithIf you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights.104
Christian de PortzamparcWhen I am true to my inspiration, even fight for my design, the project always turns out well.104
John LoganI couldn't write a happy movie or romantic comedy to save my life. Yes, Noel Coward's an idol, but his plays are serious to me. 'Private Lives' and 'Design for Living' both have an edge. Without psychoanalyzing myself, I think I exorcise my demons in my work.104
Mariam NaficyMinted.com is both a global design community and stationery retailer. Independent graphic designers from all over the world submit designs to our ongoing design competitions, and Minted's community votes to tell us what to sell.104
John Van HamersveldI look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance.104
Mick EbelingI have a company that does design and animation, so obviously graffiti is definitely an intricate part of what we admire and respect in the art world.104
Jarrett J. KrosoczkaEvery single item that we come into contact with on a daily basis has been designed by an artist. From the toothbrush we use in the morning, to the defibrillator that could save our lives, an artist is behind the design.104
Jann WennerMagazines that depend on photography, and design, and long reads, and quality stuff, are going to do just fine despite the Internet and cable news.104
Billy GrahamMany churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.105
Iris ApfelFashion and interior design are one and the same.105
Charles EamesRecognizing the need is the primary condition for design. 105
Ferdinand PorscheGood design should be honest.105
Isaac MizrahiThis is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.105
Nate BerkusDesign, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school.105
Olivier TheyskensThe aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.105
Paul RandTo 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.105
Peter YorkChandeliers are marvels of drop-dead showiness, the jewellery of architecture.105
Philip JohnsonAll architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.105
Tadao AndoWhen I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.105
Yigal AzrouelI always have music playing in my studio when I design. It really gets me in the mood and allows me to focus.105
Yves BeharMy mantra is: 'Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas.'105
Anthony BrowneMaurice Sendak is the daddy of them all when it comes to picture books - the words, the rhythm, the psychology, the design.105
Danny BrownI would never design anything. I just think that's kind of wack. I hated every rapper fashion line that ever came out, you know what I'm saying? I would never try.105
David McCandlessI feel that every day, all of us now are being blasted by information design. It's being poured into our eyes through the Web, and we're all visualizers now; we're all demanding a visual aspect to our information. There's something almost quite magical about visual information. It's effortless; it literally pours in.105
Don YaegerDecisions are the frequent fabric of our daily design.105
Henrik FiskerOne of the big failures for the big auto companies is that even the CEO and the top management often don't understand design and manufacturing. As a CEO, you have to make decisions; you need to have knowledge.105
Kevin KellySpecies go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.105
Len WeinI became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.105
M.I.A.Nike is the uniform for kids all over the world, and African design has been killed by Nike. Africans no longer want to wear their own designs.105
Peter ZumthorDesigning is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It's about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth - intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It's actually a beautiful feeling.105
Suzan DelBeneThe i730 combines the familiarity of Windows Mobile software with the innovative design of Samsung that will be a popular choice for mobile professionals.105
Genevieve GorderI think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.105
Jim LeeAs an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread.105
Pierre BonnardColor does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.105
Prabal GurungI'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.105
St. VincentIn regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.105
Alessandra AmbrosioI am extremely excited to develop and design a brand representative of my life, experiences and style. Working closely with Cherokee will help establish a worldwide presence with best-in-class retailers and category leaders.105
Cindy GallopWhen we launched If WeRanTheWorld, I said to my team, I want us to innovate in every aspect of how we design and operate this as a business venture, as much as the web platform itself - because I want us to design our own startup around the working lives that we would all like to live. Women and men alike.105
Giambattista ValliI have made bouquets of pleats, bouquets of flowers, bouquets of ruffles, bouquets of feathers. Often I design in mousseline, held tightly around the waist, and with something else going on all around.105
Leon KrierSurprisingly, the Eisenhower Memorial design contains almost none of the known Gehry-box of tricks. His giant etched chain-link curtain, first applied in 1979 to hide an ungracious parking garage at Santa Monica Place, is resurrected for Eisenhower to screen the equally graceless facade of the Department of Education.105
Tadashi ShojiIt's a Japanese way of thinking, that I give value for my merchandise. So I don't want to sell unnecessarily expensive dresses and make just 10 or 20 and then feel satisfied. I want to design for real women who can afford my dresses.105
Cameron SinclairWhen you as a designer design something that burdens a community with maintenance and old world technology, basically failed developed world technology, then you will crush that community way beyond bad design; you'll destroy the economics of that community, and often the community socially is broken.105
Joseph LancasterI am persuaded, that if any attempt is made to improve the education of the poor, and such an unmanly spirit should guide the resolution of a society or committee for that purpose, it would render the design abortive.105
Robert MoogLeon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level.105
David SmallThings like anatomy and drawing and design and color had pretty much been drop-kicked out of the curriculum in the '70s, when I was studying art, in favor of abstraction and minimalism.105
Charles J. GivensTo design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.105
James FallowsThe demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like.105
Seymour CrayI just bought a Mac to help me design the next Cray.105
Jack ReedIf we don't have accurate information, if we are not able to tell difficult truth one to another, we will never be able to effectively design a policy for Iraq.105
John AndersonBut my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it.105
Jakaya KikweteWe design our own programmes; we take leadership. Of course the donors come in to support us, to complement our efforts. Our responsibility to the donors is about accountability: about how we use that money. If somebody gives you his money, definitely he will be interested in knowing how you spend the money.105
Alvar AaltoOnce I tried to make a standardization of staircases. Probably that is one of the oldest of the standardizations. Of course, we design new staircase steps every day in connection with all our houses, but a standardized step depends on the height of the buildings and on all kinds of things.106
Diane von FurstenbergThe most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.106
Ernie ElsSomething I've really enjoyed learning more about is course design.106
Freeman DysonA good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.106
Hasso PlattnerAt Stanford, we teach 'design thinking' - that is, we put together small, interdisciplinary groups to figure out what the true needs are and then to apply the art of engineering to serve them.106
Herbert A. SimonThe proper study of mankind is the science of design.106
Jonathan Ive'Design' is a word that's come to mean so much that it's also a word that has come to mean nothing.106
Le CorbusierSpace and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.106
Mary J. BligeI like to do interior design, I love to quilt, I love to see different colors together, and I love to match things up.106
Nicola FormichettiI want young people to be able to buy into what I design. When I was young, I wanted to buy designer brands even if all I could afford was the cheapest wallet, the cheapest pen, the cheapest T-shirt because I wanted to be a part of it.106
Paul RandDesign 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.106
Renzo PianoLondon is one of the most civilised places in the world for the procedure of making architecture and urban design.106
Tyler, The CreatorI want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too.106
Yukihiro MatsumotoI believe consistency and orthogonality are tools of design, not the primary goal in design.106
Yves BeharI wanted to be a writer as a teen... so storytelling was my first love. In my late teens, design became an obsession as I realized that I could express myself through the medium. Much later, when I founded Fuseproject in 1999, our slogan became 'design brings stories to life.'106
Douglas WilsonWhat people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.106
Henry PetroskiSuccessful design is not the achievement of perfection but the minimization and accommodation of imperfection.106
Kenneth R. MillerLike many other scientists who hold the Catholic faith, I see the Creator's plan and purpose fulfilled in our universe. I see a planet bursting with evolutionary possibilities, a continuing creation in which the Divine providence is manifest in every living thing. I see a science that tells us there is indeed a design to life.106
Milton GlaserComputers are to design as microwaves are to cooking.106
Mitch KaporThe critical thing in developing software is not the program, it's the design. It is translating understanding of user needs into something that can be realized as a computer program.106
Nicolas GhesquiereIn terms of design, it's true the world has an influence. But, as a designer, you have to protect yourself. You have to look at the world and then forget it.106
Peter StuyvesantThe design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England.106
Peter ZumthorThe first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design.106
Shawn FanningUnfortunately, the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design.106
Whitfield DiffieIf you depend on a secret for your security, what do you do when the secret is discovered? If it is easy to change, like a cryptographic key, you do so. If it's hard to change, like a cryptographic system or an operating system, you're stuck. You will be vulnerable until you invest the time and money to design another system.106
Willie McCoveyI had talked for years about doing a restaurant with Rocky Dudum, who's been my friend since I first came to San Francisco. Then Rocky's son, Jeff, said he wanted to design it, so he traveled around the country to sports restaurants like Mickey Mantle's and Michael Jordan's, and he came up with a great concept.106
Dhani HarrisonIf you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.106
Genevieve GorderDesign can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods.106
Janine BenyusFor businesses, biomimicry is about bringing a new discipline - biology - to the design table. It's not to write an environmental impact statement, as most biologists in business do right now.106
Katherine WaterstonCostume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out.106
Martin FillerFew developments central to the history of art have been so misrepresented or misunderstood as the brief, brave, glorious, doomed life of the Bauhaus - the epochally influential German art, architecture, crafts, and design school that was founded in Goethe's sleepy hometown of Weimar in 1919.106
Tony KayeI've come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I've designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I've done conceptual art pictures.106
Christian SirianoIt was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.106
Daniel LibeskindI think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings.106
Janina GavankarI'm always drooling over great design, from fashion to furniture.106
Douglas TrumbullThere were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.106
Robert MoogMy training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.106
Steve MaddenSo much of design is context.106
Rachel Lambert MellonI always design a landscape with fixed horizons whether it be mountains or a stone wall around a 20-foot-square plot.106
Mariam NaficyOver the years, I observed that many talented graphic designers, including those in my own family, had difficulty getting their designs to market. I thought it would be possible to hold open stationery design competitions where all designers could participate.106
Ross LovegroveI'm involved in everything from highly progressive lighting systems to airline interiors. In the field of transportation I can go from the micro to the macro: architecture, transportation, industrial product design, right across the board. It's Russian dollism, because they all interrelate: one goes into the other.106
Joseph KosinskiOnce I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.106
Jean NouvelIt is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out.106
Jef RaskinOnce the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.106
Walt DisneyYou can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.107
Vera WangWhen I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.107
B. F. SkinnerI did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.107
Alain DucasseFood is one part of the experience. And it has to be somewhere between 50 to 60 percent of the dining experience. But the rest counts as well: The mood, the atmosphere, the music, the feeling, the design, the harmony between what you have on the plate and what surrounds the plate.107
Daniel Day-LewisAt some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.107
Greg AndersonWellness is not a 'medical fix' but a way of living - a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever.107
Herbert A. SimonEngineering, medicine, business, architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent - not with how things are but with how they might be - in short, with design.107
Lisa VanderpumpI'm also interested in pets with alopecia. And design. I'm surprised I haven't gone through with a homeware brand. The bedding, the comforters, the candles, the this and that. I would like to design everything.107
Tom FordI hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk. Actually, I wander around the design studio with a plate in my hand as I dine on, for example, salmon sashimi and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. I often have a bit of dark chocolate after lunch.107
Ursula AndressI wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.107
Yukihiro MatsumotoActually, I didn't make the claim that Ruby follows the principle of least surprise. Someone felt the design of Ruby follows that philosophy, so they started saying that. I didn't bring that up, actually.107
Adolf GallandI would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.107
David BrainerdWe should always look upon ourselves as God's servants, placed in God's world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can.107
David H. MurdockSuccess isn't something you achieve by accident, but rather by design.107
Hedi SlimaneI don't like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That's what I've always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world.107
Niklaus WirthA good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.107
Paul GrahamEveryone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.107
Rene RussoIf I had to design a career for myself, I would have done comedy.107
Stephen ElopI have to experience the Nokia products. I'm a major contributor to the design and the quality of the devices. I have a lot of feedback to provide the teams on that. But also I have to carry competitive devices. You have to understand the competition.107
Thomas KeneallyAnd I think my sexuality was heavily repressed by the church, by the, you know, the design of the mortal sins.107
Dan ShechtmanYoung people in Israel are encouraged to design, produce and sell their products from high school. Technical universities also matter. Teach and introduce entrepreneurship courses in technical universities.107
Don BluthI have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners.107
Greg LynnBy supporting all the links in the building chain and giving them an easy, intuitive tool for sharing model-based project information, GTeam enhances workflows and improves communication from design through to fabrication and assembly.107
Mary BarraWhen I am there at our global product development centers, I am meeting with the design team and reviewing design work being done there and meeting with engineers responsible for work being done specific to that region, meeting with purchasing team.107
George GilderIntelligent design itself does not have any content.107
Michael GravesIt was always my goal to 'up the ante' on good design, and I've devoted much of my career to this.107
Ryan TedderIf you're talking to an architect, he can look at a blank piece of paper, and once the initial design is there, the formula kicks in. Each room should have something unique and different about it - much the same way that in a song, every eight bars or so, a new piece of information should be introduced.107
Sofia CoppolaActing isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.107
Tadashi ShojiI design to make women feel confident and beautiful.107
Tarsem SinghUsually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, 'Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.' I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, 'Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.'107
Cesar PelliI always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture - you always can hope for another project to design.107
Dan PhillipsIf you have multiples of anything, you have the possibility of repetition. Repetition creates pattern and also unity. Put anyone in a room with a pile of similar objects and say, 'I want a pattern by 3 P.M. or no dinner.' Anyone would come up with a design. It is easy, fun and available to anybody. Most people just don't have the nerve.107
Renzo RossoThe Diesel team has incredible passion. We work for ourselves and design for ourselves. When I see a new watch in our collection, I go crazy. I want one of everything.107
Samuel E. MorisonIn any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.107
Rachel Lambert MellonThe sky is a free asset in design, and nothing unnecessary should be planted that takes away the sky.107
Robert HughesNothing they design ever gets in the way of a work of art.107
Mariam NaficyAll of the designs on Minted are crowd-sourced from a global community of independent designers. We hold monthly design and art challenges that anyone in the world is welcome to enter.107
Monika ChiangEven though I design my own jewelry, one of the great things about my job is being able to bring in really talented collaborators.107
Jessica HartI love the creative outlet of designing, and I love make-up and products and feel like I find so many great products around the world that I want to recreate, so I want to do that or design.107
Dieter RamsDesign should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role.108
Donald NormanIt is relatively easy to design for the perfect cases, when everything goes right, or when all the information required is available in proper format.108
Hideo KojimaI am tremendously excited to introduce a unique 'Metal Gear Solid' experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on 'Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes' for Nintendo GameCube.108
Isaac BarrowEven private persons in due season, with discretion and temper, may reprove others, whom they observe to commit sin, or follow bad courses, out of charitable design, and with hope to reclaim them.108
Mark McKinnonThe problem with State of the Union speeches is that they are, by their nature and design, alphabet soup. It's hard to know what a president really cares about when they run down a laundry list and check every issue box under the sun for fear they will offend some constituency if they don't.108
Nicole RichieI am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.108
Paul RandPictures, abstract symbols, materials, and colors are among the ingredients with which a designer or engineer works. To design is to discover relationships and to make arrangements and rearrangements among these ingredients.108
Renzo PianoI don't like the idea that the first preparation when you start to design your building has to put your label. I think this is not fair. It's not fair to the building or to the people, to the client, because every building tells a different story.108
Stefan SagmeisterIf you want to communicate something, you'd better make sure that your design piece is well-dressed and that its teeth are fixed. At the same time, I still believe that if it is only stylistically great and it has nothing to say, it still is not going to make a lasting impression on anybody.108
Tim GunnWith fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.108
Wally LambThe roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves.108
Yves BeharDesign certainly has a cosmetic, aesthetic aim. It always aims at making things beautiful. But relevance is just as important. I often say, 'If it isn't ethical, it can't be beautiful. But if it isn't beautiful, it probably shouldn't be at all.'108
Anselm KieferI believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.108
Colleen AtwoodOne thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work.108
Douglas WilsonI'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver.108
Edward TufteI do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed, so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks.108
Mikhail KalashnikovI tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design.108
Annabelle SelldorfI make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality.108
Clemence PoesyI love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time.108
Deborra-Lee FurnessIf I wasn't an actress, I'd be a designer. I love interior design and inventing things that are practical but also beautiful - looking at a space and creating magic.108
Mary AstellThe design of Rhetoric is to remove those Prejudices that lie in the way of Truth, to Reduce the Passions to the Government of Reasons; to place our Subject in a Right Light, and excite our Hearers to a due consideration of it.108
Peter EisenmanArchitects design houses. I live in a home.108
Bjarne StroustrupAfter all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either.108
Michael GravesI believe well-designed places and objects can actually improve healing, while poor design can inhibit it.108
David CraneMy background is in hardware design. I found hardware work to be a welcome change from thousands of hours of programming and that led to the designs you mentioned.108
Michael AradHow do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative?108
Barbara KrugerAlthough my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.109
Branch RickeyLuck is the residue of design. 109
Christian LouboutinI have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be.109
Craig VenterGenome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them.109
Daniel DennettWherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments, it is apt to emerge again and again, independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.'109
Donald NormanUser-centered design means working with your users all throughout the project.109
Donna KaranDesign and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.109
Iain McGilchristThe genome was once thought to be just the blueprint for a living organism, like a combination of the architect's plan for a building and the builder's list of supplies. It specified the parts, the building blocks, and, somehow, the design of the whole, the way in which they are to be put together.109
Kourtney KardashianI would love to design a maternity clothing line. It is so hard to find stylish clothes for pregnant people... I would say 99 percent of the clothes I wore were not maternity because I couldn't find anything I liked.109
Lawrence M. KraussThe illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.109
Orville WrightIn just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power.109
Paloma PicassoI think, aesthetically, car design is so interesting - the dashboards, the steering wheels, and the beauty of the mechanics. I don't know how any of it works, I don't want to know, but it's inspirational.109
Richard RogersThere is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together. From an urban design and planning point of view, the well-connected open city is a powerful paradigm and an engine for integration and inclusivity.109
Stefan SagmeisterSome people said, 'Oh you're going to become a fine artist now and do exhibits and stuff.' But I have no desire to do that. I really like design and I'm going to stay with it.109
Yves BeharDesign needs a new relationship with the world, one that is more focused on our planet's needs.109
Alexandra StoddardDon't feel you have to buy something to sit in or at. Buy something you are emotionally attached to and build your design around that. One Matisse cutout poster could provide you with your whole color scheme!109
Claudia SchifferI've learned a tremendous amount over the years by watching designers work. I now have a good understanding of what sits well on the body, not to mention the importance of a great cut and quality.109
Douglas WilsonIn two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.109
Michael DellThe interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don't design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don't really care, as long as we're selling the one the customer wants.109
Michael SandelWhen I arrived at Harvard, I wanted to design a course in political theory that would have interested me, back when I was started out, in a way that the standard things didn't.109
Pauley PerretteI love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them.109
Steve BallmerAccessible design is good design.109
Thom BrowneIt is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.109
William A. DembskiPrecisely because intelligent design does not turn the study of biological origins into a Bible-science controversy, intelligent design is a position around which Christians of all stripes can unite.109
Genevieve GorderThat was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them.109
John PiperWe look at life from the back side of the tapestry. And most of the time, what we see is loose threads, tangled knots and the like. But occasionally, God's light shines through the tapestry, and we get a glimpse of the larger design with God weaving together the darks and lights of existence.109
Martin FillerConsidering my specialization in architecture, I'm not surprised that the first graphic novel to thoroughly engage, not to say captivate, me is Chip Kidd and Dave Taylor's 'Batman: Death by Design.'109
Michael GravesGood design to me is both appearance and functionality together. It's the experience that makes it good design.109
Taylor WilsonEverybody after Fukushima had to reassess the safety of nuclear. When I set out to design a reactor, I knew it had to be passive and intrinsically safe.109
Michael BeheWe are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box.109
Trudi CanavanI wound up studying art and design, got a job at Lonely Planet Publications as a designer, cartographer and illustrator.109
John RomeroIt is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.109
Jonathan MayhewI now add, farther, that the apostle's argument is so far from proving it to be the duty of people to obey, and submit to, such rulers as act in contradiction to the public good, and so to the design of their office, that it proves the direct contrary.109
Michael EndeNo architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them, because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and, above all, timesaving to make them identical.109
Jonathan HickmanMy overall artistic goal is to marry graphic design with comic books and traditional storytelling.109
Coco ChanelFashion fades, only style remains the same. 110
Jim RohnIf you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.110
Vera WangMy closet is organized by tops, pants, and outerwear, but not a lot of dresses. Gowns are in another room because I don't often dress formally, even though I design gowns. Like most designers, I have a uniform, and mine is a legging.110
David HockneyArt has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.110
Donna KaranDesign is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.110
Jonathan IveIt's a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I'm aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.110
Kathy IrelandThe only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.110
Marilyn FrenchTo nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.110
Tony FadellI knew a lot about product design before coming to Apple, but I didn't understand a lot about consumer experience design, which is really Apple's forte.110
Gary GygaxGaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.110
Henry PetroskiIt seems to be a law of design that for every advantage introduced through redesign, there is an accompanying unintended disadvantage.110
William A. DembskiThere is an immediate payoff to intelligent design: it destroys the atheistic legacy of Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design makes it impossible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.110
Candice OlsonWhen I'm doing kitchen planning as well as bathroom design, I try to walk through the day with the homeowner. If we're talking about a kitchen, it will be: So, we are walking in with the groceries. When we are taking them out of the car, where will they go? What is the distance to fridge, to pantry?110
Dries van NotenIn the design process, there's a need to be culturally comprehensive.110
Genevieve GorderIt's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.110
Ben ParrWhat can we learn from the battle between data and design? What can we learn from the relationship between Google and Apple? Clearly no one school of thought is right: Apple and Google are both wildly successful and profitable companies that changed the world.110
Bruce OldfieldI've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.110
Roman CoppolaThat's a hobby of mine - to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer!110
Amy WaldmanSo the premise of 'The Submission' is that there's an anonymous competition to design a 9/11 memorial and it's won by an American Muslim, an architect born and raised in Virginia, and his name is Mohammad Khan.110
Brenda LaurelWhen you work with web design companies in San Francisco, you end up with a bunch of twenty-somethings who have their own cultural peculiarities, including obscurity for its own sake. You give those guys a website for a banking institution and they screw it up, because they are designing for themselves.110
John MaedaAnyone with a computer and a design program can create a page layout. But unless you're trained in design, it won't look very good and it won't communicate very well.110
Richard SteeleIt is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.110
Steve MaddenMy strengths as a businessman lie in the design and sale of women's shoes, and I have never been comfortable with complicated or technical legal or business documents.110
Jil SanderInitially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.110
Douglas AdamsA common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.111
Charles EamesTo whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.111
Donald NormanEveryday people are not very good designers.111
Edith HeadA designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.111
Zoey DeutchBorderline embarrassing fact: I used to have a pseudo line when I was seven called Zizzy Fashion. I love clothing, and I would eventually like to design as well as act.111
Bryan BattI always wanted to be an actor, but I always loved design, and growing up in New Orleans there was such great style, great architecture. I would decorate my little apartment in New York over and over again, because it only had a couple of rooms. And I did it for friends and family on the side just for fun.111
Colleen AtwoodCostume design allows you to do a different type of research and create characters, whereas in fashion, you create an image and clothing for the masses.111
David CarsonThe dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.'111
Gail KellyI'm a big believer you should design work around a vast majority of people who want to do the right thing rather than around the tiny minority who might take advantage.111
Jamais CascioWith increasing fervor since the 1980s, sustainability has been the watchword of scientists, environmental activists, and indeed all those concerned about the complex, fragile systems on the sphere we inhabit. It has shaped debates about business, design, and our lifestyles.111
Greg LynnTo go back to architecture, what's organic about architecture as a field, unlike product design, is this whole issue of holism and of monumentality is really our realm. Like, we have to design things which are coherent as a single object, but also break down into small rooms and have an identity of both the big scale and the small scale.111
Hod LipsonSimilar to computer technology in the '60s, 3-D printing is a universal technology that has the potential to revolutionize our life by enabling individuals to design and manufacture things.111
Jay SamitDesign is how you make your first impression with your consumers. Make sure it is a lasting one.111
Ken AdamI always wanted to design for films.111
Mike FitzpatrickInternet safety begins at home and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet.111
Miranda RichardsonI like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.111
Richard PowersI write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works, but each one launches another. Every constraint, even dullness, frees up a new design.111
Stephen J. CannellMy dad was an interior design and furniture person. I started working with him for four years before my first TV writing break.111
Brian SelznickI majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, although I never had any intention of being an illustrator and didn't take any classes in illustration there. It was just that the illustration degree had no requirements.111
John MaedaIn the '70s and '80s there was an attempt in K-12 to teach science through art or art through science. The challenge today is how do you build the ethos of art and design into the academy of science.111
John BaldacciThere is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.111
Daniel J. BoorstinAn image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.112
Donald NormanI prefer design by experts - by people who know what they are doing.112
Friedrich August von HayekThe curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.112
HerodotusSome men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.112
Norman FosterI describe the design process as like the tip of the iceberg. What you don't see is the long haul: all the endless auditing and things like that.112
Paul FarmerWe have to design a health delivery system by actually talking to people and asking, 'What would make this service better for you?' As soon as you start asking, you get a flood of answers.112
Robert CollierEvery contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.112
Roger StaubachAt our company, our Design and Construction Consulting Service Team not only helps eliminate the risks inherent in the construction process, they typically save our clients 5% - 10% on overall construction costs. They also help make sure projects come in on time.112
Tyler, The CreatorI'm not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day.112
Yves BeharThe best design work is really done when you spend more time with people, when you have the opportunity to be of the same mindset and the same incentives as the founder of the business.112
Gary HamelAt the pinnacle of great design are products so gorgeous and lust-worthy that you want to lick them: a Porsche 911, Samsung's Luxia TV, an Eames lounge chair or anything by Loro Piana.112
Henry PetroskiAny design, whether it's for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures.112
Kenneth R. Miller'Intelligent Design,' the relabeled, repackaged form of American creationism, has always had a problem. It just can't seem to produce any evidence.112
Kevin KellyOrganisms by their design are not made to adapt too far.112
Niklaus WirthClearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.112
Weili DaiWomen have their own strengths, like fashion. In technology, we can contribute in a big way in terms of the design of the user interface.112
Eva ZeiselMen have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.112
Jason WuI came from product design originally - I had been designing dolls for a toy company since I was 16 - so I'm used to working with plastic and different things. I had an innate interest in objects.112
Marc NewsonWell, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.112
Michael GravesIn designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good.112
Steven ChuBy the fourth grade, I graduated to an erector set and spent many happy hours constructing devices of unknown purpose where the main design criterion was to maximize the number of moving parts and overall size.112
Jane MayerWell, yes, I mean, I think that, you know, my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design, not just an aberration.112
P. J. O'RourkeThe great majority of Baghdad is a slum - a lot of it's new, but it's still slum. It's usually this concrete-block, one-room design with a door and a window, arranged one-up, one-down, often with a shop with nothing in it on the first floor, and then a one-room apartment above it. There's street after street after street of that stuff.113
Daniel H. PinkStudying design has made me a much, much more astute observer of this aspect of business. And I'm working mightily to improve my empathic skills. I've dramatically improved my ability to read facial expressions - and I'm trying to be a better, more attentive listener.113
Jean CocteauThe actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.113
Jonathan IveI discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.113
Mark McKinnonAmerica glories in its tradition of the self-made individual. Political candidates compete to be a friend to entrepreneurs, and policymakers, imagining the next Microsoft or Google, design laws to back the innovator in the garage.113
Sophia BushSo, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.113
Stefan SagmeisterI run a design studio in New York. Every seven years, I close it for one year to pursue some little experiments, things that are always difficult to accomplish during the regular working year. In that year, we are not available for any of our clients. We are totally closed. And as you can imagine, it is a lovely and very energetic time.113
TerencePerhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.113
Thomas J. WatsonDesign must reflect the practical and aesthetic in business but above all... good design must primarily serve people.113
Tony FadellNest really came out of a process where I was trying to design the most connected and the most green home that I knew of. I was curious of just about everything that goes into a home and building a home.113
Venus WilliamsInterior design is a business of trust.113
Yves BeharHaving one foot in design and the other in sustainable and social projects, I hear this question quite often: 'Why does the world need another chair?' My answer is that the world needs another chair/bicycle/car or any new product for that matter, like the world needs another book.113
David CarsonI'm experimenting in public. At the design grad schools, these are people sitting around in groups, putting their work on a wall, analyzing it and putting it back in a drawer. I think there's little risk in that.113
Kenneth R. MillerThe scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.113
Mark HelprinThe craftless anarchy of the Beat poets on the one hand, and the extreme control of Henry James on the other, suggest that for most human beings, just as both freedom and discipline are necessary in life, serendipity and design must coexist in a work to make it readable.113
Peter ZumthorI design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it... the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality.113
Taylor SchillingMy guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture.113
William A. DembskiGive us detailed, testable, mechanistic accounts for the origin of life, the origin of the genetic code, the origin of ubiquitous bio macromolecules and assemblages like the ribosome, and the origin of molecular machines like the bacterial flagellum, and intelligent design will die a quick and painless death.113
David CoverdaleWhen I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.113
Laz AlonsoI love HGTV. I love working on my house and have really been bit by the 'luxury remodeling' bug. 'Million Dollar Rooms,' 'Million Dollar Listing'... any show that can give me design inspiration, I soak it in and try my hand at it. Home Depot is my second home!113
Said SayrafiezadehThe year the bus drivers went on strike in Pittsburgh, I was twenty-three and living on the edge of the city in a neighborhood that was on the verge of becoming a ghetto. I had just been fired from a good job as a cartographer in a design studio where I had worked for about four months.113
John KatzmanI studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching.113
Steve JobsDesign is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. 114
Vera WangLet's be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.114
Betsey JohnsonI used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.114
Charlie PuthI've always made weird sounds with my mouth. I've always been fascinated by the sound design, what you can do with your mouth. I was the kid dancing around in third grade on the basketball court. While everyone would be playing sports, I would be jumping around.114
Christopher AlexanderComplexity is one of the great problems in environmental design.114
Jim HensonAt the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.114
Kinky FriedmanHow can you look at the Texas legislature and still believe in intelligent design?114
Linus TorvaldsHey, I'm a good software engineer, but I'm not exactly known for my fashion sense. White socks and sandals don't translate to 'good design sense'.114
Olivier TheyskensI am interested in the idea of 'taste.' And by 'taste,' I mean opinion, inspiration and the craft of creating a personality through fabric and design.114
Paloma PicassoI have always been interested in design, but in the beginning I didn't set out to make jewelry specifically.114
Paul RandIf I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don't do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong.114
Tory BurchFor me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.114
Venus WilliamsThe principle of the design - the harmony, rhythm and balance are all the same with interior and fashion design.114
Christian LacroixThey say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese.114
Douglas WilsonBeing in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.114
Henry PetroskiYou can almost say that a design error is a human error because, after all, it's we humans who do the designing.114
Marc JacobsWe don't design by calculator or by demographics or anything like that. We really are a group of creative, sensitive people. We have our charmed little world where we get to make things. We're really lucky.114
Arne JacobsenThe primary factor is proportions.114
Bre PettisOne of the criticisms we get is, 'Does the world need more plastic crap?' But you have to look beyond the plastic crap, to the design, to the experience, to the empowering nature of the MakerBot and the community.114
Jaron LanierThe wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.114
Marc OstrofskyTraditional horizontal search engines cannot always identify the target audience, niche or vertical industry of a page or site. Vertical search engines address this issue by the nature of their design. They identify sites according to more specific criteria and sometimes even by human input.114
Mary AstellBut, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?114
Bonnie WrightI'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company, when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers, especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.114
David ChipperfieldI like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design.114
Moshe SafdieI'm completely taken and impressed by the planning authority of Singapore and its Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It's the most cutting-edge agency in the world. They have very effective guidelines for development, and they review design as it evolves.114
Robert SheaJust as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways, so organizations, especially those in competition with one another, must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail.114
Ron Ben-IsraelWe used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.114
Malcolm FraserThree years ago the Government announced the creation of Reconciliation Place, and said that it would include a memorial to those removed from their families. However, they refused to include any of those who were removed in the design of their own memorial.114
Jil SanderIt may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.114
Steve JobsDesign is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.115
Elon MuskAny product that needs a manual to work is broken.115
George SantayanaGraphic design is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, abnormality, hobbies and humors.115
Anne HathawayI think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes. More than fashion or brand labels, I love design. I love the thought that people put into clothes. I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby.115
Christy TurlingtonSacred spaces can be created in any environment.115
Jamie OliverIf you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.115
Kelly WearstlerInformed clients are better clients, and they make for better design.115
Kevin McCloudBuilding design isn't trendy.115
Oscar NiemeyerThere is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space.115
Paul RandGood design doesn't date. Bad design does.115
Edward TufteBeautiful Evidence is about the theory and practice of analytical design.115
John CarmackDeveloping games for the PC and consoles is all about everything and the kitchen sink. In many ways, you don't have design decisions to make. You do it all. So I enjoy going back to making decisions about what's important as I'm working on a game.115
Martin ReesIn our interconnected world, novel technology could empower just one fanatic, or some weirdo with a mindset of those who now design computer viruses, to trigger some kind of disaster. Indeed, catastrophe could arise simply from technical misadventure - error rather than terror.115
Neil MarshallI always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.115
Niklaus WirthBut active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs.115
Simon SchamaSculptures created from found materials like ice and thorns, driftwood, and even bleached kangaroo bones all presuppose that artistic design will yield to the cycles of time and climate, whether over an hour or a decade.115
William A. DembskiIntelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet.115
Anurag KashyapIndependent graphic novelists have already achieved good work in terms of design, but all these great minds are writing in English. There is a need for people to write in Hindi.115
Candice OlsonGreat French design is often about unexpected touches.115
Charles BassThe United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995.115
Janine BenyusBiomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that's already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn.115
Jay SamitWhether by design or circumstance, every startup will eventually get disrupted.115
David ChipperfieldI do quite like Gehry's Guggenheim. But where in Bilbao it's seen as an outgrowth of years of investment in urban design and engineering, in Britain it's seen as the catalyst for urban regeneration rather than the icing on the cake.115
John MaedaVideogames are indeed design: They're sophisticated virtual machines that echo the mechanical systems inside cars.115
Robert MoogThe point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.115
Les BrownWe must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.116
Samuel JohnsonMany things difficult to design prove easy to performance.116
ASAP RockyDesign my own line? No, I just like the culture.116
Charles EamesIn architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.116
Diane von FurstenbergThere's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!116
Donald NormanAlso note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone.116
Giorgio ArmaniI design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.116
Jonathan IveApple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products.116
Kim CampbellFor me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation.116
Peter YorkBy the late Nineties, we had become a more visual nation. Big-money taste moved to global standards - new architecture, design and show-off contemporary art. The Sloane domestic aesthetic - symmetry, class symbolism and brown furniture - became as unfashionable as it had been hot in the early Eighties.116
Ralph LaurenThe clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.116
Tadao AndoAll those involved in the construction of an architectural design, from the architect to the builder, have an attachment to the architecture, although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.116
TwiggyI'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.116
Valentino GaravaniI am always locked in my design studio.116
Yves BeharWhen clients come to my design agency and say 'I want to be the Apple of this or that,' we say 'Okay, are you ready to be the Steve Jobs?' Few are up to the task.116
Douglas WilsonA challenge always is good. Normal design does not come under the constraints of a small budget and time frame. But it has helped me to make quick and knowledgeable decisions.116
Ken JenningsThe Final Jeopardy! questions seem to be, by design, things you can't know. And so it's not about who knows them, but who can figure them out in thirty seconds.116
Marc JacobsWhether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.116
AfrojackI have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it's important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together. I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn't so much 'pressure' for me; it's a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.116
K. Eric DrexlerI had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.116
Peter EisenmanI don't design houses with the nuclear family idea because I don't believe in it as a concept.116
Bill GatesIf you have 50 different plug types, appliances wouldn't be available and would be very expensive. But once an electric outlet becomes standardized, many companies can design appliances, and competition ensues, creating variety and better prices for consumers.117
David A. BednarBy divine design, men and women are intended to progress together toward perfection and a fulness of glory. Because of their distinctive temperaments and capacities, males and females each bring to a marriage relationship unique perspectives and experiences.117
Norman FosterEverything we design is a response to the specific climate and culture of a particular place.117
Paul RandDesign is everything. Everything!117
Stephen GardinerThe garden, by design, is concerned with both the interior and the land beyond the garden.117
Tom BrokawWhen he entered the Oval Office - by fate, not by design - Citizen Ford knew that he was not perfect, just as he knew he was not perfect when he left. But what president ever was?117
Tom FordI love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.117
Yves BeharWhat I learned from my years in Silicon Valley is that design can have a primary role in how a business is shaped, how a company can be design-driven. In my experience of large industry in Europe, that knowledge has been lost.117
Ashley MadekweI've teamed up with BaubleBar to curate a collection of gorgeous jewelry pieces. I worked closely with the BaubleBar team to design a collection that encompasses my style and all of my go to pieces.117
Michael ShermerThrough no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known.117
Tom WatsonIf a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.117
Jamie BamberI love Prada shirts because they're so decorative and figure-hugging, but I also like Reiss shirts because they're clean, simple and look as if they've come off the peg from a design house.117
David HumeA purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.118
Ang LeeSummer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.118
Carroll ShelbyI don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.118
Craig VenterAgriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.118
David RockefellerThe Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes.118
Harbhajan SinghI am honoured to be associated with a brand like Movado. It believes in the art of design and is known for its perfection worldwide. I have strong faith in the pursuit of perfection. I am looking forward to a long association.118
Kelly WearstlerThere is a voice, and there is a DNA to how I design.118
Stefan SagmeisterI had given a presentation on design and happiness for quite a long while at design conferences. I had found thinking about the topic helpful for my own practice, as it forced me to consider the fundamentals, and the feedback from the audience was always enthusiastic.118
Chad HurleyI try to absorb all types of style and design. I don't try and restrict my thinking. I enjoy the old and the new. You need that broad perspective to create something different.118
Clive ThompsonThe genius idea of industrialism was the concept of the Model T: In exchange for something cheap and well-made, we'd forgo unique, lovely design.118
Colleen AtwoodThe exposure I have had to beautiful materials across the world, from Japan to Italy, enables me to pull design ideas together. This, combined with years of historical research, has created a great fountain of ideas for me.118
Kenneth R. MillerThe argument for intelligent design basically depends on saying, 'You haven't answered every question with evolution,'... Well, guess what? Science can't answer every question.118
Raf SimonsAs an industrial designer, you design the thing by yourself, and then it goes away from you, whereas fashion is in constant relation to the body and to psychology. It makes it more complicated, and it makes it more challenging.118
Ramez NaamThe accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago.118
Marc NewsonPeople kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.118
Michael AradFor two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design.118
John DyerWhile I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest.118
Donald NormanReaders always seem to think that the author has some control over the design of their books.119
Francisco CostaEach season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.119
Frank GehryA lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.119
Frank ZappaThe computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.119
Isabella RosselliniI graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model.119
Kathy IrelandMartha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.119
Lena HeadeyNothing I do is by design. It's always the result of a happy accident. I didn't have a career plan. It has just become the way it is. It's all good fun.119
Kenneth R. MillerThe new strategy is to teach intelligent design without calling it intelligent design.119
Dhani HarrisonWebsites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.119
Ralph BakshiOne of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.119
Ron LewisWe must carefully consider card security solutions, such as adding photographs or machine-readable electronic strips, so to prevent further breaches of individual privacy that could result from changes to the design of Social Security Cards.119
Christian LouboutinPeople say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus.120
Debbie FordWe are spiritual beings whether we want to admit it or not, and inherent in our DNA is a design to return us home - home to our true essence, our greatest self, our limitless self.120
Francisco CostaI'm inspired by many things, from landscapes to textiles. Art and architecture always influence my design process.120
James DysonI don't design down to a price.120
Kathy IrelandI won't give up my day job of design.120
Lance ArmstrongObviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.120
Peter SingerMost of the robots being developed for home use are functional in design - Gecko's homecare robot looks rather like the Star Wars robot R2-D2. Honda and Sony are designing robots that look more like the same movie's 'android' C-3PO.120
Arthur EricksonThe details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.120
Drew Gilpin FaustI often read nonfiction with a pencil in hand. I love the feel, the smell, the design, the weight of a book, but I also enjoy the convenience of my Kindle - for travel and for procuring a book in seconds.120
Henry PetroskiEverything we do is designed, whether we're producing a magazine, a website, or a bridge. Design is really the creative invention that designs everything.120
Mohamed ElBaradeiWhether one believes in evolution, intelligent design, or Divine Creation, one thing is certain. Since the beginning of history, human beings have been at war with each other, under the pretext of religion, ideology, ethnicity and other reasons. And no civilization has ever willingly given up its most powerful weapons.120
Steve AlbiniWe have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.120
Erin WassonI don't have a background in design, so I think it's always about what I see in the world and what inspires me. So yes, I am designing for myself. I'm going through this whole evolution, which is a process of growing up and going from modeling to styling to designing.120
David ChipperfieldI do very little industrial design. I'm asked a lot, but I certainly don't see myself as an industrial designer.120
Jason WuThere is always going to be that luxury customer out there. I have clients who buy $10,000 dresses and clients who buy $60 dresses. It's not so much about the money. Design is a mentality.120
Joe JonasI had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad.120
Malcolm MclarenThrough all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict.120
Marc NewsonDesign schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.120
Jaime LernerThe design of a city is like a strange archeology.120
Ai WeiweiI see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end, I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.121
Gabe NewellNinety percent of games lose money; 10 percent make a lot of money. And there's a consistency around the competitive advantages you create, so if you can actually learn how to do the art, the design, and the programming, you would be consistently very profitable.121
Jim HensonI was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.121
Kendall JennerI definitely want to design clothes at one point.121
Ludwig Mies van der RoheA chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous.121
Peter DiamandisMy personal fascination with the power of the crowd has been growing: Exactly what can a 'crowd' accomplish? We know crowds can raise billions of dollars, create Wikipedia, and even design and build small autonomous drones. But how about something large and complex like designing a new car, and maybe someday even a spaceship?121
Renzo PianoWhen you design a building, you start from a general philosophy, and you come down, and you start from detail and come up. Only the theoretical architect believes that you can make the concept and then sometime, somebody will come to build it.121
Robin S. SharmaThe fears you do not face become your walls. Most people in business, and in their personal lives, design everything so they can avoid doing what makes them feel uncomfortable. Yet any good business person knows we are not only paid to work, but also we are paid to be scared.121
Brendan MyersMy earliest interest in game design came when I was in primary school, and my parents bought a Commodore 128 computer. I taught myself to write programs in BASIC, and then I made my own games.121
David BrainerdI have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.121
Daniel LibeskindAnd then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole.121
David ChipperfieldIt is difficult to separate oneself from one's design moralities.121
Moshe SafdieUrban design as a discipline barely exists in most American and Canadian cities. In Singapore, there are innovative transportation strategies at work.121
John HoevenThe Keystone XL project has built strong safety measures into its design with the newest technology. Additionally, 80 percent of the new Canadian oil sands are being developed 'in situ,' meaning, it has a similar carbon footprint and emissions as conventional oil wells.121
Tim Berners-LeeWeb users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.122
Venus WilliamsMy style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.122
Carl HonoreAficionados of Slow design and Slow fashion use ethical and green materials to make objects - furniture, clothes, jewellery - that lift the spirit and last a lifetime rather than one catwalk season.122
Christian LacroixFrench design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.122
Henry PetroskiDesign is nothing if not decision making.122
Mary QuantFor one thing, I am still working as an adviser on fashion, design and colour and stuff.122
Malcolm MclarenPunk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool.122
Marc NewsonSo if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.122
John VarvatosMy vision is the ability to design clothes for a man who wants to create his own style and doesn't want to dress like he's in uniform, to look like the guy in the ad, or to feel like he has to put it together that way.122
Kanye WestI thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'123
Homaro CantuI was just taught very early that if I didn't solve problems, I was headed for a very dark path. Problems were everywhere. Now, even if there are no problems, I look for problems. I'm like, 'You know what? I don't like the way this spoon works. I want to design a new spoon.'123
Virginia PostrelAlthough people often equate them, glamour is not the same as beauty, stylishness, luxury, celebrity, or sex appeal. It is not limited to fashion or film; nor is it intrinsically feminine. It is not a collection of aesthetic markers - a style, as fashion and design use the word.123
Claudia SchifferI design for myself and the first question I ask is, 'Would I wear it?'123
Colleen AtwoodThe reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.123
Maria SharapovaI have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.123
Peter ZumthorWhen I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities.123
Mike MillsIt's funny now how much we look at - whatever you want to call it: art, design, culture stuff, film - online, and how in the online world, you're instantly global.123
Michael AradI really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me.123
Craig VenterSometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it.124
Donatella VersaceA business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality.124
Donna KaranI design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.124
Nicole RichieWhen we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event.124
Paul RandGraphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant.124
Steve WozniakIn the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.124
Christian LacroixFor me, I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.124
Henry PetroskiI employ case studies of failure into my courses, emphasizing that they teach us much more than studies of success. It is not that success stories cannot serve as models of good design or as exemplars of creative engineering. They can do that, but they cannot teach us how close to failure they are.124
Dries van NotenI don't design for myself. I design something keeping in mind that it has to please a lot of women.124
Marc NewsonSo if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.124
Mikko HypponenYou can get the best locksmith in the world to design the best lock he can design, is it pick proof? No, it's not: it can be very hard to pick, but it is pickable. Because you can get, say, the next 10 best locksmiths, and give them unlimited money and time, they will figure out a way to pick it.124
Steve JobsA lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.125
Ice CubeMusic is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.125
Alan ShepardWe worked with the engineers in the design and construction and testing phases in those various areas, then we would get back together at the end of the week and brief each other as to what had gone on.125
Brad GoreskiTrends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that's always in style is color.125
Christopher AlexanderOnce you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive; you will be able to design a house together with your family; a garden for your children; places where you can work; beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream.125
Norman FosterWhen the Great Fire of London destroyed most of the medieval city in 1666, Christopher Wren was invited to design a new one. Within days, he had drawn up an elegant grid of broad boulevards leading to majestic squares, but it came to nothing - the existing landowners wanted things as they had been.125
Paloma FaithI design all my sets. With my tour and my album artwork, I co-design that with people who are better at drawing than me. But I've got a good imagination. I went to art school so I understand how to communicate my ideas.125
Tommy HilfigerI think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.125
Antony GormleyDue to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves.125
Shawn AmosIf I were a rock star, I'd design my own clothes. I'd do it because that's the mark of a true rock star.125
Andrew LuckAfter doing some research with my agent, we found out Klipsch was an official Colts partner, and they were based in Indianapolis, which only added to my esteem for the company. I also have a passion for design and technology that developed while I was at Stanford and appreciate the quality of Klipsch's speakers and headphones.125
Vera WangI love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.126
Ben HorowitzBy far the most difficult skill I learned as a C.E.O. was the ability to manage my own psychology. Organizational design, process design, metrics, hiring and firing were all relatively straightforward skills to master compared with keeping my mind in check.126
Henri MatisseIt is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.126
Tadao AndoThe level of detail and craft is something that's inscribed within the original design concept. And so when I begin to draw, I know what kind of detailing I want the building to have.126
Alek WekI've always loved to paint - I was studying to do an art degree when I was approached to become a model - and I've being doing some design work as well. I also love just having a quiet time, sitting in my little library at home in Brooklyn and reading or watching documentaries or listening to music.126
Arthur EricksonAfter 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared.126
Margaret HeffernanBritish innovation in design, in the creative arts, in engineering and manufacturing is world class.126
Alex SteffenBy fundamentally changing how we design the places and systems that enable our daily lives, we can slash emissions way beyond the immediate carbon savings - because our own personal emissions are just the tip of a vast iceberg of energy and resources consumed far from our view.126
Burt RutanAirplanes were invented by natural selection. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes. There were probably at least 30,000 different things tried, and when they crash and kill the pilot, don't try that again.126
Martin FillerFrom the outset, MoMA followed the Bauhaus's strict prohibition against design that even hinted at the decorative, a prejudice that skewed the pioneering museum's view of Modernism for decades.126
Clive BarkerI'm not the expert on the great gameplay. I come in for the character design, monsters, atmosphere. I'm not the technician.126
James DysonDesign and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.201
Jim HensonWe thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.201
Patrick deWittWhen you're 8 years old, and you've become subconsciously familiar with the layout and design of Black Sparrow books, and you know the difference between Miles Davis and John Coltrane, something is bound to stick.201
Venus WilliamsAll those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.201
Zaha HadidIf I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella.201
Alber ElbazMany, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?201
Jaron LanierThe basic problem is that web 2.0 tools are not supportive of democracy by design. They are tools designed to gather spy-agency-like data in a seductive way, first and foremost, but as a side effect they tend to provide software support for mob-like phenomena.201
Elon MuskThe path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.202
Frank Lloyd WrightSpace is the breath of art. 202
Christian LouboutinA shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.202
Donna KaranTo me, design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort - so you can get on with the things that matter.202
Eric BurdonI was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music.202
FergieLuckily I don't have to buy shoes anymore, because I design them! I'm off tour, so I can dive in and create the shoes that I want for my line. But okay, I did buy a pair of vintage combat boots because they were so beaten up - I had to have them.202
Jonathan IveA small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.202
Tadao AndoItaly is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings, and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.202
Maria SharapovaI help design my own tennis clothes.202
Mary AstellGod is His own Design and End, and that there is no other Worthy of Him.202
Joe BastianichI think a lot of people overlook the importance of the menu as a marketing tool and a way of communicating to the customer what the ambition of their restaurant is. Not only the typeface and the design, but what is it printed on? Is it cheap-looking? Is it the right kind of paper for that restaurant?202
Elon MuskThere are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.203
Erma BombeckSometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy.203
Christian LouboutinI'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.203
Jonathan IveTo design something really new and innovative you have to reject reason.203
Peter YorkAll brands, whether high-ticket luxury ones such as Cartier or Rolls-Royce or 'masstige' ones with luxe-y overtones but altogether more affordable, all want to grow. Even brands that may have started in a modestly niche design and lifestyle fashion can find themselves under pressure to go global or to sell out at the top.203
TwiggyEven before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and it's still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design, I wear and I love.203
Zaha HadidAs a woman, I'm expected to want everything to be nice and to be nice myself. A very English thing. I don't design nice buildings - I don't like them. I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.203
Bethany MotaI am excited to partner with Aeropostale for my very own collection. It was a great experience to be able to work with them. Not only did I get to design an entire fashion line, but I got to do it at a great price point with quality clothes, both of which are very important to me.203
Edie CampbellYou'll never see me with a precision flick of eyeliner. Messy eyeliner became my thing by accident rather than design. If you can't get it straight, then just work it in around your eyes.203
Henry PetroskiCase studies of failure should be made a part of the vocabulary of every engineer so that he or she can recall or recite them when something in a new design or design process is suggestive of what went wrong in the case study.203
Jason SilvaI design therefore I become.203
Indra NooyiMost companies target women as end users, but few are effectively utilizing female employees when it comes to innovating for female consumers. When women are empowered in the design and innovation process, the likelihood of success in the marketplace improves by 144%!204
Alexander McQueenClothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.204
Annie LeibovitzI don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.204
Calvin KleinPeople who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.204
Carlos GhosnWhen I come to a design decision, people know that is that.204
Emma StoneMy stylist has really great taste - Petra Flannery has really great taste. I mean, I am opinionated, and as time goes on, as I've gotten to see more dresses or more clothes, it's easier to say, 'I like that' or 'I don't like that,' but it's nothing I would ever, you know, design.204
Satya NadellaWe had the Windows app store in Windows 8, but one of the big changes in the design of Windows 10 is to make sure that the app store is front and center where our usage is, which is the desktop.204
Bethany MotaI've always wanted to design a home collection line because growing up, I was obsessed with reorganizing my room.204
Coco ChanelFashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions. 205
Barbra StreisandEighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.205
Glenn GreenwaldThere's a perennial debate about whether the propagandistic tripe produced by establishment media outlets is shaped more by evil or by stupidity. Personally, I think it's both: a healthy dose of each is needed. The system design is malicious, while those who serve as its public face are generally vacant.205
Jonathan IveApple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures.205
Rudy GiulianiThere is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design.205
Stephen GardinerFrench architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community.205
Chris SquireI've been called the journeyman. It's really more by default than it is by design.205
Marc JacobsI'm not really well educated - other than an art survey course at the High School of Art and Design in New York when I was, like, 15. I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.205
Candice OlsonI credit my mom with inspiring in me a love of design, matched by her creative problem-solving abilities. This is a woman who could find an old, discarded piece of furniture, bring it home and turn it into something fabulous.205
Steve JobsDesign is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.206
Diana RossI majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.206
Nate BerkusWhen you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that it's a clean design that will work with whatever style you want it to.206
Henry PetroskiWe call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia - as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia - 'accidents.' Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten.206
Jane McGonigalI'm always thinking about whatever game I'm working on. My brain works subconsciously on design pretty much every hour I'm awake.206
Larry WallWhen I announced the development of Perl 6, I said it was going to be a community design. I designed Perl, myself. It's limited by my own brain power. So I wanted Perl 6 to be a community design.206
Vera WangDesign is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. So my being able to reach the masses was something that meant a great deal to me - especially for women who could never wear Vera Wang.207
Diane von FurstenbergMy favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.207
Seth ShostakMost of the things at the zoo don't look like us. We're one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that's a different take on the same basic design. But fish don't look like us, and giraffes don't. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don't look like us, and they work just fine.207
Steve WozniakIf I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.207
TwiggyWearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It's safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.207
Johnny WeirI design all of my costumes. I like to go out there and feel like I have contributed to every part of what I do. I choose the music, the choreographer, I've obviously chosen my coach, my costumes - all if that falls under my realm of power, my realm of influence.207
Brad PittI'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.208
Charles StanleyIn giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.208
Miguel de CervantesDelay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.208
Neill BlomkampI grew up as an artist. Science fiction allows for design and creatures and guns and all the stuff that I like as well. So I think most of the films I make, I'm sure, will be in that category. But I can also see myself making a film like 'Black Hawk Down,' and I could also totally do horror.208
Tom PetersDesign is so critical it should be on the agenda of every meeting in every single department.208
Tony FadellIf you don't have an emotionally engaging design for a device, no one will care about it.208
Dylan LaurenWatching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.208
Florence WelchI've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain; I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.209
James DysonBritain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.209
Lawrence M. KraussBy no definition of any modern scientist is intelligent design science, and it's a waste of our students' time to subject them to it.209
Nate BerkusWhen I take on a design project, I have to jet from the bookstore to the hardware shop to the lamp store and back again just to collect a small portion of the many items I need to fill a home. But, when you hit the flea market, they're all right there. From booth to booth, you have the bases covered.209
Henry PetroskiNo design, no matter how common or seemingly insignificant, is without its adamant critics as well as its ardent admirers.209
Josh McDowellI've never had anyone define purity. You probably can't define purity. Purity is to live according to original design.209
Marcus AureliusLet it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself.210
Craig VenterWhen you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design.210
Pierce BrosnanI'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.210
Philip TreacyWhat I love most about Her Majesty is that she has kept hats alive in people's minds for more than 60 years. You can't think of her without imagining her with a hat or a crown. I would, of course, love to design one for her.210
Joshua FoerNo one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today.210
Ellen DeGeneresDesigning is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.211
Vera WangDesign is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.211
D. H. LawrenceDesign in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.211
John AdamsI always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.211
James DysonI'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum, alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory, merging the practical with the academic.211
Jonathan IveThe emphasis and value on ideas and original thinking is an innate part of British culture, and in many ways, that describes the traditions of design.211
Tom FordThere are many designers who have much greater talent as a designer than I do, but they may not have my drive, they may not work as hard, they may not have the focus, the desire... You have to have a talent because, at the end of the day, if the pants you design don't make someone's butt look great, they're not going to buy them.211
Arthur EricksonNo wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where, like all desert dwellers, they dream their buildings, rather than design them.211
Colleen AtwoodI don't design my own clothes. It's so not what I think about.211
Jeffrey KlugerA jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell, a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes - as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was.211
Marc JacobsDesign is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.211
Alex SteffenI'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.211
Alexander McQueenI come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.212
Zaha HadidPeople say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok.212
Raf SimonsUntil I was eighteen, I did not know that you could study fashion design or art. I really didn't know. I already had my nose in the art world; I was already looking at things, but I didn't really get it that you could study that because my school was a very different environment.212
Alexander McQueenNow I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.213
Bill DedmanFederal regulations forbid delaying inspections for fracture-critical bridges like the fallen Minneapolis bridge - the kind with a lack of redundancy in design, so that a single failure in a load-bearing part can cause the entire bridge to collapse.213
Miuccia PradaWhen I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.213
Adrian TomineThere's a lot of books that I've purchased simply because of the cover design. On the other hand, there's certain books that, even if I'm very curious about the content, I can't bring myself to buy if I really dislike the cover.213
Chad HurleyFrom time to time, I've experimented with sculpture or metal design. It's a good break from just sitting behind the keyboard.213
M. J. RoseOne of the biggest differences between you and a traditionally published author is that a self-pubbed author is responsible for everything. Not just writing the book - but cover design, editing, producing, distribution, and publicity as well.213
Martin FillerBy 1970, the first stirrings of the revolt against Modernist orthodoxy in architecture had been felt, although it would be several years more until Postmodernism was widely accepted and made classical motifs permissible in high-style building design for the first time in decades.213
Anna QuindlenI would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.214
Nate BerkusI didn't grow up thinking I'd be a decorator. Design is my greatest passion, and it naturally just pulled me down the path. Same with TV. Being famous or having a show was never the motivation. I got a call and was swept up by the challenge of that first small space redesign.214
Trent ReznorBooks are better than movies because you design the set the way you want it to look.214
Juan WilliamsNPR editors and journalists found themselves caught in a game of trying to please a leadership team who did not want to hear stories on the air about conservatives, the poor, or anyone who didn't fit their profitable design of NPR as the official voice of college-educated, white, liberal-leaning, upper-income America.214
Philip TreacyI always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.214
Raf SimonsIn fashion design, you can divide people into two groups. You have people who come with an aesthetic that is there forever, even if it evolves. Then you have people I call 'jumpers.' One season it can be this; the next season it's completely something else. I always knew I am more of a jumper.214
Steve AokiThere's a big gaping hole in the EDM space for songwriting. It's one thing to learn how to be a great sound designer and become big just on sound design. Especially if you're in the dubstep category, it's like, how much fatter and more interesting can you make those drops.214
James WolcottBook-jacket design may become a lost art, like album-cover design, without which late-20th-century iconography would have been pauperized.214
Vera WangI like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.215
Diane von FurstenbergI design for the woman who loves being a woman.215
Frank GehryThere are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.215
Lauren ConradI'd love to design bridal dresses.215
Nancy GibbsIn design as in life, smart can also mean wise, kind, inspiring - and cost-effective. And that has a charm all its own.215
James CameronI actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.215
Blake LivelyDesign, whether it's on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It's mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns - elements that you wouldn't often put together in an interesting way.216
Brad PittI'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.216
George LucasThe way I define 'intelligent design' is that when people started out, we wanted to make sense of the world we lived in, so we created stories about how things worked.216
Philip JohnsonI wish someone would ask me to design a cathedral.216
Vint CerfThe big deal about the Internet design was you could have an arbitrary large number of networks so that they would all work together.216
Alice WatersIf I weren't involved with food, I'd be working in architecture. Design is that critical to me.216
Frank Lloyd WrightThe space within becomes the reality of the building.217
Andy SerkisGorillas are still wild creatures. That's made very clear when you observe them in nature. They charge and perform other displays that are terrifying by design. But they don't attack unless they feel threatened.217
Barbara KrugerEven when I was a little girl, I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think my parents took me there once or twice. And what I really remember is the design collection.217
Jack NicklausIf I had one golf course, from a design standpoint, one that I really love, it would probably be Pinehurst. There's a totally tree-lined golf course where trees are not a part of the strategy.217
Richard RogersI love cities, I spend most of my life talking about cities. And the design of cities does have an effect on your life. You're lucky if you can see trees out of your window and you have a square nearby, or a bar, a cornershop, a surgery. Then you're living well.217
Colleen AtwoodI think that sometimes people don't understand that a costume that has to be worn every day and doesn't change the whole movie becomes iconic. It's very important because it requires a different design process, since you have to make something that people aren't going to get tired of looking at.218
Amy LeeI design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't matter - just unique stuff.218
Alejandro Gonzalez InarrituI have a notebook, and I know what decisions will be made in pre-production. Everything is pre-determined in the pre-production period. I visually design the whole thing, and I know when things will happen.219
Jonathan IvePerhaps I'd like to design cars, but I don't think I'd be much good at it.219
Steve WozniakIt would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.219
Trent ReznorI have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.219
Zaha HadidI am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.219
Colleen AtwoodI grew up in a small town in Washington State, so I wasn't really aware of costume design as a career growing up, but I loved clothes. I remember I saved all my money, and the first thing that I bought was a white blazer, which was to the horror to my parents. But I have always had a strange connection with clothing.219
Richard LammGod is not an American. Nature did not design Americans to be prosperous forever.219
Martin FillerAny set of decisions about design is inevitably influenced by cultural prejudice, no matter how intent an architect might be to avoid it.219
Alexander McQueenI can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.220
Liz PhairI mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.220
Pharrell WilliamsI have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.220
Rick WarrenYou drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.'220
Bobby FlayI think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure it's functional and works with what you're trying to accomplish. Design can come later.221
Carolina HerreraYou have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful.221
Tom FordAdvertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It's the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have.221
Tyra BanksDesigners are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.221
Zaha HadidI've always thought that design can have equal importance to the idea of internal architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic - you do the architecture, someone else does the interiors, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. But I think design is all-encompassing.221
TiestoGrowing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It's come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts.221
Jack NicklausPete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960's. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club.222
Donatella VersaceWhen I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.223
Francis CollinsProponents of intelligent design don't accept that some of the very complex nanomachines that we have inside ourselves could have come about solely on the basis of natural selection.223
Colleen AtwoodI can create clothes for so many different time periods. I've always tried to avoid being pigeonholed. Plus, everything I learn about design and costume from one movie somehow works its way into something else.223
William Butler YeatsDesigns in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste.224
Jonathan IveI like to work in a small team. There is only 18 of us on the design team. Nobody has ever left.224
Dan JenkinsIf you see a player out in public having dinner, chances are he's with his boring money manager or some boring rich guy he hopes to design a golf course for.224
Jack NicklausI've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.225
Richard RogersArchitects design buildings; that's what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I'm still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It's broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it's raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world.225
Gary HamelI don't know whether the universe contains any evidence of intelligent design, but I can assure you that thousands of everyday products do not.225
Carlos GhosnI approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now, but just to make sure that the design is a logical, rational decision, taken after analyzing pros and cons.226
Diane von FurstenbergI never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and - to some degree - the woman I'm still a little piece of.226
Richard RogersA greater focus on design in all new homes would make the best use of land, create homes and public spaces, and reinforce the structures of urban life.226
Colleen AtwoodMy own style is pretty classic; I much prefer to design for others.226
Martin ParrI would urge everyone to start looking at the world in a different way. Spend some time looking at everyday objects, at their design, their shape, their individual characteristics. Think ahead and imagine their significance.226
John TravoltaWhen I was a very little boy, I lived underneath the air pattern of LaGuardia airport in New York and I watched the planes fly to their destinations. I was in love with the design of these airplanes.226
Big SeanThere's a lot of shoes that people consider high-end fashion, from Balenciaga to this and that or whatever, and the Pro Models are very similar to me. They're very fashionable to me - the design and the shape of them. I just like them.301
William GibsonI like the idea of people who've had some success in one form secretly wanting to be something else; I have some of that myself. I look for it in other people who've established themselves in some particular art form, and then you find out that they really would like to design running shoes, or edit literary magazines or something.301
Chris SquireThe fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.301
Jack NicklausA Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.302
Colleen AtwoodI design for the movie and the character as well as the person wearing the costume. I show the ideas to the actor, then do fittings for shape and technical things such as movement in the costume. Once the costume in this form is on the actor, you have a sense of their connection with it. I then take it to the next level with the final fit.302
John MalkovichWell, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.302
Philip TreacyI'm representative of 21st century Irish design, so I promote Irishness all over the world wherever I go.302
Diane von FurstenbergThe way I design generally is very much travel-oriented because that is my life. That's why I make clothes that are so light and so easy to pack and a little bit seasonless.303
Colleen AtwoodI really don't over-theorize about design. I'd rather feel it than talk it to death. A lot happens as you unroll the design.303
Camille PagliaOver the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which, like it or not, is modern reality.304
James DysonWhen you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.304
Jonathan IveAll I've ever wanted to do is design and make; it's what I love doing.304
Alison GopnikIf you wanted to design a robot that could learn as well as it possibly could, you might end up with something that looked a lot like a 3-year-old.304
Camille PagliaVideo games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.305
James DysonI don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design, where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.305
L'Wren ScottAfter working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.306
Virginia PostrelThe profusion of fonts is one more product of the digital revolution. Beginning in the mid-'80s and accelerating in the 1990s, type design weathered the sort of radical, technology-driven transformation that other creative industries, including music, publishing, and movies, now face.308
Richard DawkinsThe universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.309
William Butler YeatsBooks are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.309
Bob DylanI paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.310
Frans de WaalDeep down, creationists realize they will never win factual arguments with science. This is why they have construed their own science-like universe, known as Intelligent Design, and eagerly jump on every tidbit of information that seems to go their way.310
Khloe KardashianTo be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream.310
Nina GarciaThere really are so many lines of work that you can join that don't have to only be design. And that was one that particularly interested me a lot, because the editors could appreciate all the trends, all the designs and all the work of the designers.310
Ryan HolmesAt the most basic level, prioritizing design also represents a practical consideration. It's far easier to design first and engineer later.310
Vera WangAll those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.311
Craig VenterGenetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth's environment.311
Jonathan IveWhen something's made in the smallest volume - as a one-off couture piece - or in large quantities, deep care is critical to determine authentic, successful design and, ultimately, manufacture.311
H. P. LovecraftWrite out the story - rapidly, fluently, and not too critically - following the second or narrative-order synopsis. Change incidents and plot whenever the developing process seems to suggest such change, never being bound by any previous design.312
Evgeny MorozovFor much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use.312
Stella McCartneyMy job at the end of the day is to design timeless, desirable, beautiful products. It's not about just designing a bunch of organic jumpers. I have a balance within the brand. If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.312
James ComeyThe promise I've tried to honor my entire career, that the rule of law and the design of the founders, right, the oversight of courts and the oversight of Congress will be at the heart of what the FBI does.312
Joel SalatinWhat we're looking at is God's design, nature's template, and using that as a pattern to cut around and lay it down on a domestic model to duplicate that pattern that we see in nature.314
Justin CartwrightIn a way, advertising, for all its shallowness, its love of design, its modishness and its self-justification, is curiously innocent. The idea of the hidden persuader or the manipulator is largely absurd.315
Christian LouboutinAt age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!316
Stella McCartneyI think the fact that my parents weren't conventional - especially considering their position - had a big influence on the way that I conduct myself now in design and business. It had a huge impact on my wanting to do something a bit more than just designing a pretty dress and putting it on a runway and making it glamorous.316
Martin JacquesIn its heyday, the car was an expression of technical flair and design genius: the original Mini, the Beetle, the 2CV, and the Fiat 500 were all, in their various ways, inspired incarnations of functionality.316
Tony CampoloWhile a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.317
Tom FordAs a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best.318
Sarah HallWe all have our preferences - some people go for birds - but for me, there's just something about the wolf; the design of it is really aesthetically pleasing.318
Elon MuskBoeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That's pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.319
Wayne DyerFear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego's insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.319
Howard RheingoldSchoolchildren are not taught how to distinguish accurate information from inaccurate information online - surely there are ways to design web-browsers to help with this task and ways to teach young people how to use the powerful online tools available to them.319
Nina GarciaI was obsessed with fashion when I was young. I thought fashion meant fashion design, and I thought I wanted to be a designer at some point.319
Ryan LochteI want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.319
Jonathan IveWe struggle with the right words to describe the design process at Apple. But it is very much about designing and prototyping and making.320
Timothy NoahSteve Jobs was the greatest manufacturer of consumer products of his age. His marketing vision put him on par with Henry Ford, and his grasp of the aesthetic component to industrial design far surpassed Ford's.321
Venus WilliamsI love design.321
Stephen HawkingAs Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.'322
Nikki SixxI love the way my tattoos look. I especially love Japanese-style tattoos and being completely sleeved by them, so it's not just these little individual and unrelated pieces, but everything's working together to create a larger design.322
Jack NicklausI love design in general, the creativity. Whether it is golf courses, my apparel line, ads we do or our business with AriZona, design is fun.323
Kellan LutzWhat I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process, I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear.323
William GibsonI would like to design what people generally call streetwear. I'd like to dress skateboarders, or whatever the older equivalent of skateboarders are. I pay more attention to that stuff than anyone would ever imagine because I'm watching what the designers do.323
Alber Elbaz'Commercial' is not the word that has to be said only by CEOs. It has to be something that is maybe the essence of design, because design has some sort of art in it and creation, but it's also some object that you have to use. There is also this pragmatic end to it.324
Jonathan IveDeep in the culture of Apple is this sense and understanding of design, developing, and making. Form and the material and process - they are beautifully intertwined - completely connected.325
Martin ReesAnd we should keep our minds open, or at least ajar, to concepts on the fringe of science fiction. Flaky American futurologists aren't always wrong. They remind us that a superintelligent machine is the last instrument that humans may ever design - the machine will itself take over in making further steps.325
Steve JobsIn most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design.326
Michelle YeohToday, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them.326
Henry David ThoreauIf I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.401
Vivienne WestwoodI have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.401
Blake LivelyMy mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.401
Marc JacobsBut I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.401
Douglas CouplandI was at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver for four years, and I loved it.402
Julia RobertsEvery actor wants to win an Oscar, full stop. It doesn't mean you try to design things around how to accomplish that because that's impossible.402
Vivienne WestwoodI wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.403
Dylan LaurenI love Janet Jackson and her creative set design.403
Diane von FurstenbergA challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.405
Sean BeanI love creating things, especially out of metal. There's something truly satisfying about shaping a piece of metal and seeing the impurities peeling away as you weld it into your chosen design.406
Vivienne WestwoodThe thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they're not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.407
Jonathan IveMy focus is incredibly narrow. I can't talk with any authority other than design and development of product.409
Nick HarkawayWe are bodies which think, and we're at home with steampunk because it is an ethos of design and creativity which acknowledges the humanly physical: that which we can understand with our fingers.409
Robert FrostThe artist in me cries out for design.410
Jonathan IveOne of the things that is particularly precious about working at Apple is that many of us on the design team have worked together for 15-plus years, and there's a wonderful thing about learning as a group. A fundamental part of that is making mistakes together.410
Venus WilliamsI've gone to school for business, for design, for architecture.410
Francois de La RochefoucauldThough men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements, yet these are, in truth, very often owing not so much to design as chance.411
Vivienne WestwoodI design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.412
Kim KardashianI really see myself continuing to design clothes, fragrances.413
Stella McCartneyMy job is to make desirable, luxurious, beautiful clothing and accessories women want to buy. My first decision is always based on, 'Can I do this in a more sustainable way without sacrificing design?' If I can, then there is no reason not to.413
Tom FordThe dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar.413
Donatella VersaceWomen are all the same; we want to be smaller in the waist, longer legs, slimmer. I design for women and their defects, to make them better.414
Victoria BeckhamEverything that I design I would wear myself.414
Christian LouboutinI never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.415
Jonathan IveI find that when I write, I need things to be quiet, but when I design, I can't bear it if it's quiet.415
Marc JacobsMarc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.415
Brad PittMy affliction has been... I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it.417
Steve JobsThe design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it.418
Theophilus LondonI might want to open a hotel and design all the rooms. Or maybe a museum that lets me curate all the events.418
Justin TimberlakeTechnology's related to everything. Technology is making the world more accessible, so yeah, as generations go by, they'll become more and more married to each other, for sure. I think they go hand in hand - fashion inspires design, and technology inspires design as well.419
Jonathan IveThat's just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one.420
Kendall JennerI weirdly love interior design and real estate and all of that. I really do. I get chills from it.420
Maria SharapovaEver since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.421
Sophia AmorusoAs a visual person, I love a creative resume. Putting in a little effort on the design side will show that you care about making things look good.421
Ivanka TrumpI spearhead interior design for all Trump projects.423
Ben SteinFor me, I've always believed that there was a God. I've always believed that God created the heavens and earth - so, for me it's not a huge leap from there to intelligent design.424
Dennis PragerThe evidence in this universe for design - or, if you will, the fine-tuning that cannot be explained by chance or by 'enough time' - is so compelling that the only way around it is to suggest that our universe is only one of an infinite number of universes.425
Martin ReesSpace doesn't offer an escape from Earth's problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design.425
Craig VenterIn a biological system, the software builds its own hardware, but design is critical, and if you start with digital information, it has to be really accurate.426
Kourtney KardashianWe always say we are a brand for our fans because through social media we're so lucky to see what people are asking us for, what they're looking for, and so we really design what we like but also take our fans in mind.501
John MalkovichYou can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.501
Camille PagliaIt's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.503
Ira GlassWhen you're learning, especially to write, unless you're some incredibly gifted writer, a young Malcom Gladwell, say, you need to be imitating people. You need to be imitating how they make their work, how they structure it, how they design the pieces. It gives you chops; it gives you moves.505
Peter SingerGoogle has withdrawn from China, arguing that it is no longer willing to design its search engine to block information that the Chinese government does not wish its citizens to have. In liberal democracies around the world, this decision has generally been greeted with enthusiasm.506
Matt MullenwegThe themes in WordPress drive a lot of design trends. It democratizes design... You make a theme, and suddenly it's on hundreds and thousands of sites.507
Kourtney KardashianWe do have a two against one rule. If two sisters feel very strongly about a design or trend we want to try, we go for it.508
Kourtney KardashianWe spent a lot of time trend forecasting and collaborating on ways to design a fresh line of fashion-forward, affordable luxury.509
Kourtney KardashianDesigning was always something I was interested in. I studied fashion design in high school as well as how to sew.512
Ban Ki-moonThe possibility that terrorist groups could obtain weapons of mass destruction should not be dismissed as a fiction. This is a horrific threat the international community should take seriously. As long as these weapons exist, so, too, does the risk of their use - by accident or design.513
Drew BarrymoreI'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.513
Gordon B. HinckleyUnfortunately, some women want to remake their husbands after their own design.513
Virginia PostrelWe've gone from a world in which Starbucks set a cutting-edge standard for mass-market design to a world in which Starbucks establishes the bare minimum. If your establishment can't come up with an original look, customers expect at least some sleek wood fixtures, nicely upholstered chairs, and faux-Murano glass pendant lights.514
Christian LouboutinI never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.516
Douglas RushkoffThe new Zune may not be an iPod killer, but it does offer a clean interface, great industrial design, HD radio, and a subscription model for music, making it significantly less expensive for big users.517
Tom StoppardI don't act, I don't direct, I don't design.519
John LasseterI love French auto design of the early '50s, '60s, early '70s of Citorens, Renaults, and Peugeots. They're so unique.521
Richard DawkinsPeople believe the only alternative to randomness is intelligent design.523
Stephen HawkingIt was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.525
Martin FreemanThe design of 'Love Actually,' the typeface, the basic line of that poster and that DVD cover has been ripped off so many times.603
Newt GingrichBecause I am much like Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, I'm such an unconventional political figure that you really need to design a unique campaign that fits the way I operate.610
Jason StathamThere's so many interesting aspects of making a movie: the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations.611
Douglas CouplandI began doing writing projects and art and design projects to explore a new way of seeing Canada. Roots is one more way of continuing this exploration. I want to present a wide-open Canadian sense of color, adventure, communication and openness that defines our country.614
Christian LouboutinI never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up. 'Vogue,' what is that?'618
Elon MuskSo we originally expected to make about 35 gigawatt hours at the cell level and about 50 gigawatt hours at the module or pack level. Now we are expecting to do about 150 gigawatt hours in the same volumetric space as the original design.621
Craig VenterAs the Industrial Age is drawing to a close, I think that we're witnessing the dawn of the era of biological design.621
Christian LouboutinI'd already decided I wanted to design shoes after I saw a sign in the Museum of African and Oceanic Art forbidding high heels. Well, who could resist?623
Zooey DeschanelI just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.703
Ben BernankeEconomic engineering is about the design and analysis of frameworks for achieving specific economic objectives.724
Brian EnoIf you want to make computers that really work, create a design team composed only of healthy, active women with lots else to do in their lives, and give them carte blanche.812
Bill GatesThe typical project design time for a large company like IBM - and they keep track of this - is a little over four years.1210
Noam ChomskyThe very design of neoliberal principles is a direct attack on democracy.1612
