“Design should do the same thing in everyday life that art does when encountered: amaze us, scare us or delight us, but certainly open us to new worlds within our daily existence.” – Aaron Betsky

This quote by Aaron Betsky, director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, was quoted in the Gain: AIGA Journal of Design for the Network Economy article “Good Design in the Digital Age”

1. Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life.
2. Design combines art, scientific complexity, and usefulness
3. Think a lot less about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more about design
4. Designers take what is just a faint glimmer in the mind’s eye and give it shape and life
5. To succeed in the ever changing design world, we need to have a strong passion for what we do
