   a thing is the less mysterious it proves to

   a three pipe problem, and I beg that you
   won’t speak to me for !i!ty minutes.”
   —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

25. Design for the digital space,
    was predominantly
    decorative in nature. Design
    wasn't viewed as a part of
    the "building" process, it was
    relegated to the "make pretty"
    process.

26. We're realizing (again) that
    design is much more than
    decoration.
    That it isn't all about how
    something looks, but it's
    how something works.

27. Just like the mid­20th
    century was a renaissance
    for industrial design, I
    believe we're entering a
    renaissance for digital
    design.

31. When we focus only on the
    utility of a product, and
    neglect the user of the
    product, we tend to focus on
    what the product IS, instead
    of who it's FOR.

32. The result tends to be
    products that may perform a
    job well, but aren't that
    enjoyable to use.

67. “We enter into close co-operation with
    the engineers. Perspective drawings are
    !ine up to a point, but they can be
    misleading. So, as soon as possible, we

    designing in this pliable material.”
