Massimo Vignelli was a graphic designer, industrial designer and architect. At one point, he ran one the largest design firms in the world. He was famous for his ethos, “If you can design one thing, you can design everything”. This is a tribute of some of Massimo’s best quotes.
Chris,
I really like the “Good design is a matter of discipline…” I appreciate the scientific approach that is implied, the place that intelligent effort has in all tasks that are worthwhile.
I think we have mystified art, design, and creativity for 3 main reasons. 1) People lazy. Instead of putting the work in, we make excuses for why we don’t create. 2) Creatives want to keep their jobs and so, perhaps, play up the mystery a little. 3) Some creatives don’t know or are unable to articulate why or how they do what they do.
What do you think?
