So if I design it and then go away it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.

Design schools are good I guess sometimes I visit schools but they are very very limiting.

Well I never studied design and I went to art school to study art you know sculpture and things like that and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works but each one launches another. Every constraint even dullness frees up a new design.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

Clearly programming courses should teach methods of design and construction and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.

But active programming consists of the design of new programs rather than contemplation of old programs.

So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.

I have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners.

I had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad.

When I was very very young seven years old I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.

With fashion you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

I've never mentioned this but when I was at Parsons teaching the other design disciplines they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

I design for myself and the first question I ask is 'Would I wear it?'

User-centered design means understanding what your users need how they think and how they behave - and incorporating that understanding into every aspect of your process.

The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something put on a great show and say 'Okay my job is done.'

You can get a lot of design testing of your missile program and you can do a lot of - there's other ways other than physically to develop your weaponization program to get you very close to the real deal.

Design is a word that's come to mean so much that it's also a word that has come to mean nothing.

The architect Peter Arens who is the monstrous carbuncle architect not merely did his design which had won a public competition never get built but his practice suffered financially for some years.

For me I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.
