More quotes by 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
Design really can be anything.
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
When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.
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
Stefan Sagmeister says that nobody innovates past forty-five, but I think he's wrong. I want to keep doing it.
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
Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
Paula Scher
The work needs to get out of your head and on to the table, and it needs to be done from the heart.
Paula Scher
The goal of design is to raise the expectation of what design can be
Paula Scher
I love the big scale and immediate impact of posters. They're my favourite things to design.
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
Creativity has to do with what came before you immediately, not what came before you a long time ago.
Paula Scher
I never thought I'd be able to design all the things I've been able to design. I thought that I'd be far more limited to a specific kind of work, and I've been able to establish an incredibly broad practice in all different ways, and it's because the expectations have gotten elevated.
Paula Scher
I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
Paula Scher
What a designer does is he makes things possible that you didn't imagine could exist before, and it makes the world a better place. You know, it's a great thing to be doing. A fine artist does that, too, but they make the expression for themselves, not for others' use.
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
As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
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.
