Design Quotes

April 6th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Links

LukeW has a nice list of quotations about design and interface. For the complete list here is a link to their site:

These are some of my favorites from their list:

A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.
Ben Shneiderman, 2003
The perfection of art is to conceal art.
Quintilian
True interactivity is not about clicking on icons or downloading files, it’s about encouraging communication.
Ed Scholssberg, 2002

So much focus has been put on “getting a website”, but very few companies have considered the reasons their customers might go to their website. We’re not there to see a silly little animation of your product. We’re there to get our questions answered. I wish more companies would design with that in mind.
