More quotes by 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.

Great design is serious, not solemn
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
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.

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.

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

Helvetica is the font of the Vietnam War.

Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
Paula Scher
Whatever you design[/make/build], use it to raise the expectations of what can be achieved
Paula Scher
Design really can be anything.
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
The goal of design is to raise the expectation of what design can be
Paula Scher
Beige is the color of indecision.
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.

New Zealand looks like the future to me

We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
