“I am only a footnote, but proud of the footnote I have become. My subsequent work on eliciting principles and developing the theory of interface design, so that many people will be able to do what I did is probably also footnote-worthy. In looking back at this turn-of-the-century period, the rise of a worldwide network will be seen as the most significant part of the computer revolution.” PeopleAbleTurnsPrinciplesCenturyDesignTheoryRevolutionProudPeriodsComputerWorthySignificantDevelopingLooking BackInterfacesFootnotes Author:Jef Raskin

“I think a lot more people are able to take on a design challenge than ever before. And this was true 20 years ago when the desktop publishing revolution came about that allowed people with Macintosh's at home to produce professional-looking newsletters or publications for the first time. So, there's a long march toward more democratization for design.” PeopleThinkingYearsFirstsLongHomeAbleChallengesDesignProduceRevolutionFirst TimeYears AgoMarchPublishingPublicationDemocratizationMacintoshDesktopNewslettersDesktop Publishing Author:Khoi Vinh
“In my book "Sound Unbound" we traced the guy who actually came up with the main concept for the graphic design of the record cover sleeve. His name is Alex Steinweiss.

“I'm not very enthusiastic about smaller nations forming their own states, particularly those in the West, where they would, after gaining 'independence', remain in the alliances that are oppressing and plundering the entire world: like NATO or the European Union. The breaking of the great country of Yugoslavia into small pieces was a hostile, evil design by the West. The dissolution of Czechoslovakia after the so-called "Velvet Revolution" was a total idiocy. But Catalonia, if it became independent, would become one of the richest parts of Europe.” WorldCountryEvilDesignRevolutionIndependentEnthusiasticEuropean UnionNatoGreat CountryIdiocy Author:Andre Vltchek
“Without a revolution of the inner life, however slow, all our big designs are worthless.
