These are some of my all-time favorite quotes about design. What are yours? Email them to me and I will publish them here.

Graphic design has been likened to a wine glass. When we drink wine we barely notice the glass it’s served in. It wouldn’t be true to say that we don’t care what glass we drink out of –- we wouldn’t choose to drink a rare vintage out of a Tupperware mug, for example –- but it’s the wine that matters, not the vessel it comes in. Adrian Shaughnessy

Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent. Joe Sparano

If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative. David Ogilvy

Design should never say, “Look at me.” It should always say, “Look at this.” David Craib

People ignore design that ignores people. Frank Chemero
