A Look at Art & Design: Definition of Design

June 18, 2006

Definition of Design

Guy Kawasaki posted this a while ago. It made me smile (another one of those posts with the undeniable element of truth). This is the best definition of design ever...it's so true! Guy references it from the blog by the creator of Lucerna.

Design consists of creating things for clients who may not know what they want, until they see what you've done, then they know exactly what they want, but it's not what you did.

- Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank
"I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
- David Black

"I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand."
- Matt Holmes, The Art Guide
"I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
- Julia Rogoff, Artist
