David Carson Quotes

http://quotesondesign.com/david-carson-2/

Carson is also known for his humorous quotations on design:
“There’s no other time in the year where commercials can take center stage. Commercials are always the things that are playing when you’re going to the bathroom or grabbing a soda from the fridge.”
“Heavy has always been about our point of view. That’s why we have attracted an audience.”
“You`ll see everything from gold teeth to hood ornaments. It`s almost like Halloween during August.”
“The criminal, like the artist, is a social explorer”
“A lot of commercials that have been rejected are really entertaining.”
“It’s not about knowing all the gimmicks and photo tricks. If you haven’t got the eye, no program will give it to you”
and probably the most humorous of all;
“Graphic design will save the world right after rock and roll does”
DAVID CARSON
Don't confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible doesn't mean it communicates and, more importantly, doesn't mean it communicates the right thing.
“You have to utilize who you are in your work. Nobody else can do that: nobody else can pull from your background, from your parents, your upbringing, your whole life experience.” — David Carson
