More quotes by Paula Scher
My work is play. And I play when I design. I even looked it up in the dictionary, to make sure that I actually do that, and the definition of “play,” number one, was “engaging in a childlike activity or endeavor,” and number two was “gambling.” And I realize I do both when I’m designing.

Planning involves considering how other people may use something.

Whatever you design[/make/build], use it to raise the expectations of what can be achieved
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.

What makes me say wow continually changes. It changes based on what I know.

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...

When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.

If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.

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
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
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
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
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
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
What I hate is when something I've done is replaced by something better than what I've done. It's really embarrassing.
Paula Scher
Great design is serious, not solemn
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
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.
