More quotes by Paula Scher
Planning involves considering how other people may use something.
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 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
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
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
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
I'm not from a generation of kids that grew up on a Mac.
Paula Scher
The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable... important to a public, that involves the public.
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
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
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.
Paula Scher
Beige is the color of indecision.
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 get to work on things I've never done before and I get better at it, and I can do things that are innovative. Which I've done in my fifties, and want to continue to do through my sixties.
Paula Scher
When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.
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 don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
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
I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
Paula Scher
The best way to accomplish serious design ... is to be totally and completely unqualified for the job.
