Posted by Mike | Posted in | Posted on 1:31 AM









Once upon a time, I came across a site & I've read this quote: "Design is where science and art break even". True right? After years of experience, I personally learned that a good design isn't how it appears in our vision, instead, it's how we make the design function well. It's how good it works that really matters. It's it relates to people. It's how it captures the viewers mind, not just their eyes. I've collected the best Quotes that will make the designers and Artists of our time be inspired, avoid procrastination, be more productive and a prolific artist. May this provide inspiration to us all. Enjoy!
