The Designer Says: Quotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom

“An inspirational reference with words from the likes of Saul Bass, Stephen Doyle, Milton Glaser, Chip Kidd and Paula Scher.” —Cool Hunting Whether musing about the creative process, the merits of failure and criticism, or the challenges of keeping the studio lights on, designers have opinions. The Designer Says is a compendium of quotations from more than one hundred of history’s leading practitioners. On the page they’re mixed like guests at a dinner party—a nineteenth-century designer might sit next to one working today, or two contemporary designers may strike up a conversation. Listen in as they complime nt, provoke, and one-up each other in this lively volume of insights for anyone curious about the ideas and personalities that shape the art of visual communication. This beautifully designed (of course!) compendium features quotations from * Otl Aicher * Saul Bass * Michael Bierut * Irma Boom * Robert Brownjohn * Matthew Carter * Art Chantry * Ivan Chermayeff * Seymour Chwast * Elaine Lustig Cohen * William Drenttel * Charles and Ray Eames * Ed Fella * Alan Fletcher * Adrian Frutiger * Eric Gill * Milton Glaser * Jessica Helfand * Experimental Jetset * Ellen Lupton * Karel Martens * Debbie Millman * L'szl Moholy-Nagy * Bruno Mari * Paul Rand * Michael Rock * Aleksandr Rodchenko * Paula Scher * Kurt Schwitters * Erik Spiekermann * Jan Tschichold * Massimo Vignelli * Hermann Zapf * and many more “Their wisdom comes across in gorgeous type and succinct humor.”—Cool Hunting “A charming compendium of more than one hundred beautifully typeset remarks by some of today’s and yesteryear’s most celebrated graphic design minds.” —Brain Pickings
