Language designers want to design the perfect language. They want to be able to say, 'My language is perfect. It can do everything.' But it's just plain impossible to design a perfect language, because there are two ways to look at a language. One way is by looking at what can be done with that language. The other is by looking at how we feel using that language-how we feel while programming.
Good design to me is both appearance and functionality together. It's the experience that makes it good design.
Puma was all about function and not at all about design. The founder of the company always believed functionality and performance were the only ingredients that could make Puma successful and design never mattered.
When done right, working is a series of decisions that you make which allow you to refine and refine and refine your highest and best use. Ultimately, if you are lucky, you will find out where you belong.
I love the idea of web design that maximises expressiveness over functionality.
Great web design without functionality is like a sports car with no engine.
The Nordic welfare model is in many aspects a good model but it needs more of a choice for individuals.
Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
We don't have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer... But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation.
Professional kitchens are studied to cook for countless people. At home, design often wins over functionality. A restaurant must be functional.
Design, refine and repeat, and keep learning all the way along. It sounds bland and pedestrian, but in fact, it's the reverse.
Design must be functional and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics, without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained.
Design must be functional, and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained.
Good design is as little design as possible. Less, but better - because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.
In its heyday, the car was an expression of technical flair and design genius: the original Mini, the Beetle, the 2CV, and the Fiat 500 were all, in their various ways, inspired incarnations of functionality.
