Some Beautiful Thoughts on Design...

" Design is one of the few disciplines that is a science as well as an art. Effective, meaningful design requires intellectual, rational rigor along with the ability to elicit emotions and beliefs. Thus, designers must balance both the logic and lyricism of humanity every time they design something, a task that requires a singularly mysterious skill.
If you can make a compelling argument, and win enough minds, and if you can transform various parts of our world sufficiently, then the moment belongs to you.
Where do ideas come from? From looking at one thing, and seeing another. From fooling around, from playing with possibilities, from speculating, from changing, pushing, pulling, transforming, and if you are lucky, you come up with something worth saving, using, and building on. That is where the game stops and the work begins.
I find going to bed and pulling my imagination over my head often means waking up with a solution to a design problem. That state of limbo, the time between sleeping and waking, seems to allow ideas to somehow outflank the sentinels of common sense.
Inspiration comes and goes, but the best thing you can do is press on. In the words of Pablo Picasso, Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. We hope these quotes give you an added boost to keep creating."
