Quote: designer
A designer is a visually literate person, just as an editor is expected by training and inclination to be versed in language and literature, but to call the former an artist by occupation is as absurd as to refer to the latter as a poet.
Douglas Martin, Book Design,
quoted in Designing Visual Interfaces (8)

Quote: culture
“Anyone who slaps a ‘This page is best viewed with browser X’ label on a web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network.”
Tim Berners-Lee in Technology Review, July 1996
