“Good de­sign is aes­thetic—The aes­thetic qual­ity of a prod­uct is in­te­gral to its use­ful­ness be­cause prod­ucts we use every day af­fect our per­son and our well-be­ing. But only well-ex­e­cuted ob­jects can be beau­ti­ful.”—Form vs Function — https://ia.net/know-how/learning-to-see

“When every­one has the same Mac and the same in­ter­net, the dif­fer­ence be­tween hack­neyed graphic de­sign and ex­tra­or­di­nary graphic de­sign is just one thing—the abil­ity to see. See­ing, de­spite the name, isn’t merely vi­sual.”—Seth Godin — https://ia.net/know-how/learning-to-see

“The first human visitors to Antarctica came to claim territory for crown or country but, in 1959, 12 nations signed a treaty that demilitarised Antarctica indefinitely, in order to preserve it for peaceful, scientific purposes. One of the finest achievements of Cold War diplomacy, the treaty transformed an object of imperial conquest into a commons for the collective human mind.”—Working together — http://goo.gl/lBKX7R

“The next time you look at a diamond, consider this. Nearly every American marriage begins with a diamond because a bunch of rich white men in the 1940s convinced everyone that its size determines your self worth. They created this convention - that unless a man purchases (an intrinsically useless) diamond, his life is a failure - while sitting in a room, racking their brains on how to sell diamonds that no one wanted.”—Diamonds are Bullshit — http://goo.gl/mX5bGX

“Good de­sign is hon­est—It does not make a prod­uct ap­pear more in­no­v­a­tive, pow­er­ful or valu­able than it re­ally is. It does not at­tempt to ma­nip­u­late the con­sumer with promises that can­not be kept.”—Design vs Advertising? https://ia.net/know-how/learning-to-see
