• Design is an art of situations. Designers respond to a need, a problem, a circumstance, that arises in the world. The best work is produced in relation to interesting situations - an open-minded client, a good cause, or great content.

• 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.

• Designers provide ways into—and out of—the flood of words by breaking up text into pieces and offering shortcuts and alternate routes through masses of information. (...)

• Hay que estar dispuesto a dar el 150% del trabajo creativo. Oigo a muchos jóvenes hablar del equilibrio entre vida y trabajo, lo que me parece estupendo cuando tienes 30 años. Si tienes 20 años y ya estás hablando de eso, no creo que consigas tus objetivos. Si de verdad quieres forjarte una carrera potente y dejar huella, tienes que estar preparado para emplear sangre, sudor y lágrimas.

• Los sistemas de diseño universales ya no pueden descartarse como las irrelevantes elucubraciones de una pequeña y localizada comunidad de diseñadores. Ha surgido un segundo modernismo que revitaliza la búsqueda utópica de formas universales que marcó el nacimiento del diseño como discurso y disciplina casi un siglo antes.
