A Quote by Ellen Lupton

Readers usually ignore the typographic interface, gliding comfortably along literacy's habitual groove. Sometimes, however, the interface should be allowed to fail. By making itself evident, typography can illuminate the construction and identity of a page, screen, place or product.

Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.

Jef Raskin

Typography is a hidden tool of manipulation within society. All schools should be teaching typography; we should be fundamentally aware of how typographic language is forming out assholes.

Neville Brody

The idea is that the content is the interface, the information is the interface, not computer-administrative debris.

Edward Tufte

There is always, in the fine arts, a physical interface between the artist's esthetic vision and the material result he seeks. The interface may be the application of brush to canvas, chisel to marble, bow to string... It may be the control of voice in song or the control of body in dance. It is the mastery of the interface that comprises the artistry; it is what constitutes the 'art' in fine art.

Robert Breault

When designers replaced the command line interface with the graphical user interface, billions of people who are not programmers could make use of computer technology.

Howard Rheingold

We want to continue to explore new possibilities regarding interface and interaction. We experiment different solutions to make interface an important component for immersion rather than just a remote control.

David Cage

I closely follow everything about user interface or human-computer interface: technology that makes computers closer to the way the human being actually functions.

Francois-Henri Pinault

Keep it simple: In general, interfaces should use simple geometric forms, minimal contours, and a restricted color palette comprised primarily of less-saturated or neutral colors balanced with a few high contrast accent colors that emphasize important information. Typography should not vary widely in an interface.

Alan Cooper

Business and politics have a wholesome and an unwholesome interface. You have to eliminate the unwholesome interface.

Salman Khurshid

In the smart home of the future, there should be a robot designed to talk to you. With enough display technology, connectivity, and voice recognition, this human-interface robot or head-of-household robot will serve as a portal to the digital domain. It becomes your interface to your robot-enabled home.

Colin Angle

To the user, the interface is the product.

Aza Raskin

Design a clear and simple interface. The primary task of the interface is to present the player with a choice of the available actions at each moment and to provide instant feedback when the player makes a choice.

Jordan Mechner

As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product.

Jef Raskin

Of course Airbnb made mistakes the first year! Some came from our own preconceptions. When we started, we designed our interface for ourselves, Internet-savvy twentysomethings. We never considered the role of good eyesight in our interface - font size, vernacular; it all matters.

Joe Gebbia

Put simply, if an interface is poorly designed, I will not see the data I looked for, even if it is right there on the page.

Jeffrey Zeldman

Every day, hundreds of millions of people stab themselves, bleed, and then offer, like a sacrifice, to the glucose monitor they're carrying with them. It's such a bad user interface that even though in the medium-term it's life or death for these people, hundreds of millions of people don't engage in this user interface.
