Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a quote about starting out in design through education?
Yes - one quote traces an early path into the field: "After I left school, where I studied art, photography and textiles at A-level, I started doing an apprenticeship in interior design, but I wasn't really enjoying it very much," showing that a first design path doesn't always stick.
Is there a quote about design's place in human history?
Yes. One quote takes a long view, explaining that "the first technology appeared in the form of stone tools, 2.6 million years ago." It goes on to add, "First entertainment comes evidence from flutes that are 35,000 years old," tracing design and creativity back through a long human timeline.
Is there a quote about designing buildings that become icons?
Yes - one quote is refreshingly modest about it: "People say I design architectural icons. If I design a building and it becomes an icon, that's ok." For more from people who design for a living, see Designer quotes.
Is there a quote about design covering many different fields?
Yes. One quote lists several: "If I wanted to do clothes or if I wanted to make a building or design a choreography, you are able to do that - they are all under a similar kind of design umbrella," treating fashion, architecture, and choreography as connected by the same creative process. That broader idea connects well with Creativity quotes.
