Several Quotes about Designing  “Everything is designed. Few things are designed well.”

This quotation explains that everything has a blueprint to it but only several things are examined and created to its full potential.  “Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.” In other words what this quotation means is that people can see a simple design and will like it or love it, but when they see the complicated design they won’t really know about it.  “Designers are meant to be loved, not to be understood.” I believe this quote is a fact, as not everything a designer creates will be understand by the public hence they’re to be loved and not understood. karriem a muhammad
