Design is thinking made visual.
---Saul Bass
This is perhaps my favorite quote describing what design really is. Throughtout the years, I learned that design is complex. Essentially it's a rational, logical, sequential process intended to solve problems. In today's world, specifically in the realm of communications, design's true purpose is to communicate a message exploiting the thought-process, culture, experiences of an audience. It is as much art as it is psychology.
Here are some very great quotes to make you think.
