Quotes

So in my note book I listed a number of quotes that I found interesting and positive to the way I think and work about art and design.


"Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated."
Paul Rand, 1997


"Think 8 hours, work 2 hours" Mikro llic


"Art and technology - a new unity" Bauhaus 


“For after all, a poster does more than simply supply information on the goods it advertises; it also reveals a society’s state of mind.”
- Armin Hofmann


"A design should have some tension and some expression in itself. I like to compare it with the lines on a football field. It is a strict grid.
In this grid you play a game and these can be nice games or very boring games."
Wim Crouwel

"Good artists copy, great artists steal" Pablo Picasso

"Typographical design should perform optically what the speaker creates through voice and gesture of his thoughts."

El Lizzitsky

"The grid system is an aid, not a guarantee. It permits a number of possible uses and each designer can look for a solution appropiate to his personal style. But one must learn how to use the grid; it is an 

art that requires practice." Josef Muller-Brockmann
