More quotes by Paula Scher
Planning involves considering how other people may use something.
Paula Scher
Beige is the color of indecision.
Paula Scher
It could be that going to work is better than being home. But you should never think of days as the weekend. It should all be the same, it should all be stuff you want to do. And when it isn't then you have to change it, and you have to think about how you change it.
Paula Scher
You need to be able to ride past the technology by understanding what it can do, who you are, and where you want to take it. You don't want technology to lead you you want to lead it, but it's very hard to do that when you're in the middle of it.
Paula Scher
I think that the notion of being creative is the notion that, inwardly, you assume that many things are possible. And that you can try these things and that something will happen.
Paula Scher
I always drew. I was, you know, the school artist. I was the person who made the posters for the prom. That's who I was.
Paula Scher
We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
Paula Scher
Planning is design. As a designer what I tend to do, and what's different from being a painter, is that I interact with other people, and the people have things they need to have happen.
Paula Scher
Words have meaning, type has spirit.
Paula Scher
I know that in my own work I'm able to do all kinds of things I never thought I'd be able to do.
Paula Scher
My fear is that when you become an expert in anything then the expectation somehow makes you ordinary, in a way, because you become the firm that does that, or you become the person that does that. You really need to change the form to make the discovery.
Paula Scher
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?
Paula Scher
I think Apple is a wonderful example of spectacular marketing and I love having my iPod. There are the naysayers who say that nyah, nyah, it breaks and I think well, I don't like what Microsoft made...
Paula Scher
Having no purpose is the function of art, so somebody else can look at it and ask a question. Design is different - you're supposed to understand what's going on. You can be delighted by it, intrigued by it, but you're supposed to know it's a hot dog stand.
Paula Scher
Whatever you design[/make/build], use it to raise the expectations of what can be achieved
Paula Scher
Technology is something that grows and changes, and what I need to do is find out what it can do so it can do what I want it to do. And I want it to do whatever I want it to do really fast. And it's fantastic.
Paula Scher
Some people are in stultifying environments where there are rigid rules and rituals and they need that to thrive, where other people are just asphyxiated by stuff like that.
Paula Scher
As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
Paula Scher
Your work gets destroyed by dumb people and it gets enhanced by smart people and it really doesn't have anything to do with marketing.
Paula Scher
Stefan Sagmeister says that nobody innovates past forty-five, but I think he's wrong. I want to keep doing it.
