20 Motivating Design Quotes for Graphic Designers – Words Visualized!
 

“Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.”

The maestro, Leoanardo Da Vinci, illuminates the beauty of simplicity in art and graphic design through such brilliant words.

This is the magnificence of inspirational quotes, providing us stimulation and motivation to achieve what others have accomplished. It supports our reasoning and gives us an encouragement to do what we believe in. As graphic designers, we thrive to seek inspiration and what better way is to learn from words of wisdom. Reading design quotes from prominent figures of the industry ignites the creativity of graphic designers and gives them the motivation they need.

But it gets even exciting to read when words transform into attractive visual graphics. After all “A picture is worth a thousand words”. So today I’ve amassed a collection of 20 beautifully visualized design quotes that will motivate graphic designers to spark new ideas and designs.

    love this; love the words selected to illustrate, complement and illuminate the gorgeous designs. All good things.

    Shouldn’t that be, “The best forms of art ARE…”?

    Forms is a plural word and the subject of the sentence. Art is the object of the prepositional phrase.

    Guess another quote would be, “Good design requires good copywriting.”

    @Dustin Staiger…I agree to your grammatical correction. Though the error isn’t in the content but in the design quote visualized.

    In case anyone doesn’t already know - Stuart Butterfield’s phrase “Every time I hear the word innovation….” is a paraphrase of the Nazi playwright Hanns Johnst’s line in Schlageter: “When I hear the word culture I release the safety on my Browning”.

    Great!. My favourite is “Good design is all about making other designers feel like idiots because that idea wasn’t theirs.” Do you know who is the author?

    “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it” - Such true words! Iit puts things into perspective, especially for those of us who are “perfectionists”.
