More quotes by Paula Scher
Great design is serious, not solemn
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
Design really can be anything.
Paula Scher
Helvetica is the font of the Vietnam War.
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
You can't say there shouldn't be marketing and (that) marketing is a bad thing.
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
Beige is the color of indecision.
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
I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design normthat I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.
Paula Scher
What makes me say wow continually changes. It changes based on what I know.
Paula Scher
We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
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
We become different people and we adapt to our environments, but that doesn't have anything to do with being creative.
Paula Scher
You can build an ordinary hot dog stand or you can build a spectacular one, and you can do it sometimes without that much difference in money - if somebody thinks about it.
Paula Scher
I'm not from a generation of kids that grew up on a Mac.
Paula Scher
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
Paula Scher
All the little risks I took were sort of like all the apartments I had moved into: I was finding the right spot.
Paula Scher
I love the big scale and immediate impact of posters. They're my favourite things to design.
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.
