I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now, but just to make sure that the design is a logical, rational decision, taken after analyzing pros and cons.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For artists, we're always looking for approval. We're putting our artwork out there and saying, 'What do you think?'
My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.
When I come to a design decision, people know that is that.
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.
I'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver.
As a designer, I think you just have to make sure you know what you want and stay true to it. You need to have conviction and really just want to make people think in regards to doing interesting things.
If you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights.
I'm deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I'm a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I'm going to have my say.
Most of our designs are developed long before there is a practical possibility of carrying them out. I do that on purpose and have done it all my life. I do it when I am interested in something.
To design something really new and innovative you have to reject reason.
