David Carson Quotes

Don’t confuse legibility with communication Picture Quote #1

I’m a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that’s sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting - whatever it is Picture Quote #1

Some people hate lime-green; red has all this emotional baggage. Blue seems to be overall one of the more positive colors, and a little more serious than yellow Picture Quote #1

Good things are associated with blue, like clear days, more than singing the blues. Just the word ‘blue’ in the singular is full of optimism and positive connotation to most people Picture Quote #1

I think we’ve seen a lot of examples of giving a name its own definition in the dot-com world. Amazon, Google, Yahoo - these are names we never would have dreamed major corporations would choose Picture Quote #1

As we get more technically driven, the importance of people becomes more than it’s ever been before. You have to utilize who you are in your work. Nobody else can do that: nobody else can pull from your background, from your parents, your upbringing, your whole life experience Picture Quote #1

It’s not about knowing all the gimmicks and photo tricks. If you haven’t got the eye, no program will give it to you Picture Quote #1

I did an early version of my site where it was virtually impossible to get through it, just as a statement about the web. But after a few laughs and some angry e-mails, I realized it wasn’t doing me much good. I think the web has become more about the final product, not what it takes to get to it Picture Quote #1

Graphic design will save the world right after rock and roll does Picture Quote #1

Just because something is legible doesn’t mean it communicates Picture Quote #1

Dont confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible doesnt mean it communicates and, more importantly, doesnt mean it communicates the right thing Picture Quote #1

You have to utilize who you are in your work. Nobody else can do that: nobody else can pull from your background, from your parents, your upbringing, your whole life experience Picture Quote #1

For some reason I have a visual intuition that allows me to design things in an interesting way, and I don’t know where that came from. Because I don’t have this formal training, I seem to drift in a different direction Picture Quote #1

(David Carson Quotes) If I’m doing a logo, I’ll do it in black and white. Once the form is feeling right, only then do I start exploring the color palettes.
