Quotes -

Good design, at least part of the time, includes the criterion of being direct in relation to the problem at hand - not obscure, trendy, or stylish. A new language, visual or verbal, must be couched in a language that is already understood.
-  Ivan Chermayeff

The details are not the details. They make the design.
-  Charles Eames

Engineering is the art of organizing and directing men and controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.
- Henry G. Stott

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
-  Steve Jobs

Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.
- David Herbert Lawrence

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.
-  Marc Newson

Engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum conversion of natural resources to the benefit of man.
- Ralph J. Smith.

Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
-  Paul Rand

Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.
-  Jef Raskin

Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition.
-  Freeman Thomas

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.
-  Frank Zappa

Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve human problems by identifying them and executing the best solution.
-  Ivan Chermayeff

Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
-  Paul Rand

Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society...
- Dean Gordon Brown

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege.
- Herbert Hoover

Engineers participate in the activities which make the resources of nature available in a form beneficial to man and provide systems which will perform optimally and economically.
- L. M. K. Boelter

The ideal engineer is a composite ... He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer; but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems.
- N. W. Dougherty

Engineering is an activity other than purely manual and physical work which brings about the utilization of the materials and laws of nature for the good of humanity.
- R. E. Hellmund

Engineering is the practice of safe and economic application of the scientific laws governing the forces and materials of nature by means of organization, design and construction, for the general benefit of mankind.
- S. E. Lindsay

The engineer is the key figure in the material progress of the world. It is his engineering that makes a reality of the potential value of science by translating scientific knowledge into tools, resources, energy and labor to bring them into the service of man ... To make contributions of this kind the engineer requires the imagination to visualize the needs of society and to appreciate what is possible as well as the technological and broad social age understanding to bring his vision to reality.
- Sir Eric Ashby

Engineering is the science of economy, of conserving the energy, kinetic and potential, provided and stored up by nature for the use of man. It is the business of engineering to utilize this energy to the best advantage, so that there may be the least possible waste.
- William A. Smith

Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
- Hyman Rickover

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
- Eliel Saarinen

Good design keeps the user happy, the manufacturer in the black and the aesthete unoffended.
- Raymond Loewy

If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.
- Alfred Nobel

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
