Every now and again we come across great quotes about design. Enjoy.

“There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for.” – Milton Glaser

“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.” – Paula Scher

“If you do good work for good clients, it will lead to other good work for other good clients. If you do bad work for bad clients, it will lead to other bad work for other bad clients.” – Michael Bierut

“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.” – Jeffrey Zeldmen

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” – Da Vinci

“Successful communication depends on how well we listen, rather than how well we push our opinions on the person seated before us.”
