“People say graphic design is so different now, because you have so many more pixels and colors to work with... But when you study art history, you see there's just nothing new under the sun. Mosaics and needlework, it's all analogous to pixel and bitmap art.

Icon design is like solving a puzzle, trying to marry an image and idea that, ideally, will be easy for people to understand and remember.” PeopleTryingPastRememberEasySimpleAudienceDesignCommunicatePuzzles Author:Susan Kare
