More quotes by Paula Scher
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?
Paula Scher
Creativity has to do with what came before you immediately, not what came before you a long time ago.
Paula Scher
Some people are in stultifying environments where there are rigid rules and rituals and they need that to thrive, where other people are just asphyxiated by stuff like that.
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
We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.
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.

Helvetica is the font of the Vietnam War.
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 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
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.

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
If people that made products didn't market them and sell them we'd have no economy and nobody would be working.
Paula Scher
When I don't know all the rules I'm just wild.
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
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
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.

Great design is serious, not solemn

I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
Paula Scher
I love the big scale and immediate impact of posters. They're my favourite things to design.
