At the end of the day, I think we must always try to expand our spectrum. The more people we try to communicate with, the more generic our messages have to become. And as our messages become more generic, it’s less likely that people will have access to anything that’s different. I know this is…

Design is the foundation of all the arts.
Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun, and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a process. Design is the foundation of all the arts. — Paul…
DESIGN: Trading Hard Edges for Subjective Decisions.
Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk everything with no guaranteed benefit. —Scott Stevenson Design by Lester…
You can’t invent a design.

Kandinsky was an art theorist, economist, lawyer, teacher and artist. I submit that December is a fine time to honor one of the most influential 20th century…
