The Designer Says: Quotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom (gift book with inspirational quotes for designers, fun for team building and creative motivation)

I purchased this book as a motivation tool for myself and my design team. Although it includes a retrospective form famous designers throughout design history (skewing more print design than anything), many of the challenges designers face today are represented. The quotes are kept general enough that they could easily apply to situations that UX/UI designers run into on the web just as much as with publication designers in the print world. To really make this an outstanding value (a 5 essentially) , I would have loved to have seen more context around each quote and perhaps an appendix with references to other materials. Another nice addition would have been a section at the end so that design directors like myself can jot down our own musings over the years to really give it personal appeal. All in all, it makes a good reference book and/or gift to any design inclined person in your life.

Bought this for the head of design at my company and she loved the quotes. It's a nicely bound book, too.

I keep this on my desk at work. If I need a quick inspiration, I open it up and read one. It is a nice little piece to keep around.

great graduate gift.

Always fun to read what other designers have summed up by their experiences. I enjoy quotes in general so that justifies buying this book for me. haha

Witty and true musings on the artistic process of design. Found a copy at our Airbnb rental and had to have it

This book is filled with a so narrow view of a designer, definitely the editor has no idea of what design really means.

Sent to a family member.

Ideal for a top designer who think they know all the answers, it has many quotes,quips and words of wisdom for Evan those who say they know it all

Dipping in to this now and then is the best way for me to appreciate how appropriate some of the words of wisdom are to what I am doing at a given point in time. A good way to reset your mind.

A thoughtful and thought-provoking philosophical and poetic look at a career in design -- of any kind, not just graphic design.

Soy un gran amante de las citas. Creo que condensan un pensamiento o postura de una manera directa y amena.Un libro sin más pretensiones al que recurrir cuando se quiera reflexionar sobre la materia.Buena compra y mejor precio.
