For much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Design is a tool that either allows us to create new markets or disrupt existing ones.
Design must be functional, and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained.
Far too few designers put any thought into usability, ending up with a great product that's completely inaccessible.
Design needs a new relationship with the world, one that is more focused on our planet's needs.
I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.
Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it's a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.
Design is an unknown.
Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.
Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.
It seems to be a law of design that for every advantage introduced through redesign, there is an accompanying unintended disadvantage.
