Good designers are no longer satisfied in taking the manuscript from someone and making it look nice. One of the things that I've tried to do is move from being a designer to a content provider.

Consumer culture is contradiction in terms

The difference between good design and great design is INTELLIGENCE

If you don't have an idea, all you have is style.

We don't talk about planes flying. We talk about them crashing.

I'm not against beauty, it just sounds boring to me.

The perfect state of creative bliss is having power (you are 50) and knowing nothing (you are 9). This assures an interesting and successful outcome.

What is said determines who listens and who understands. Graphic design is a language, but graphic designers are so busy worrying about the nuances - accents, punctuation and so on - that they spend little time thinking about what the words add up to. I’m interested in using our communication skills to change the way things are.

I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.

Think like an artist. Dress like an insurance salesman.

I use contrary-ism in every part of my life.

If someone is going to permit me to make a publication that is politically and culturally progressive and not tell me to put their favorite movie stars on the cover, if I get to do what I want in an honest way - as I did in the beginning at 'Colors' - then I'm going to do it.

Pictures are so good at giving people information that they're not looking for.

To me, nothing is more vibrant than having the power to do something but not having the experience of knowing what's right and what's wrong.

I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying we talk about them crashing.

Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You'll miss them forever.
