During my time as a designer I consider my role quite often and on a few occasions I have thought of some quite all round summaries of the aspects of being a designer. So here is some and my thoughts on them:
"It is easy to think outside of the box when you do not know where the box is."
This reminds me of David Carson and his work which is both criticised and praised for its lack of form and ignorance towards the typical rules of graphic design. David Carson achieves this style as he never has any sort of design or art education and simply designed from his uninfluenced interpretation. So in the perspective of this quote, he does not know where the box (the box being typical representations of design) is.
Another quote I once thought is:
"You can always rely on a designer to make something out of nothing."
I also expanded on this with:
"You can always rely on a designer to make something out of nothing/anything. Show a designer some dirt and they will make a pattern, puzzle or deep philosophy from it. They will humanise it and explain its favourite colour and recent hobbies. A designers mind is infinite."
