"People ignore design that ignores people."
This was said by Frank Chimero. I couldn't find the exact situation and time it was said in, but it was said before April 29, 2009. (That's the first article I found that reference the quote.) In 2010, he was under the age of 30. He currently lives in Brooklyn and works for Studiomates. He has taught design classes at Missouri State University and Portland State, and graduate classes at SVA. I chose his quote because I believe it to be true. I think it's because of what I was taught in high school - it's all about the reader. If you make something for an audience but don't take into account anything that applies to them, what reason do they have to look at it? As a designer, if you're not going to have any regard for the people you make things for, they don't have a reason to pay attention. What you make isn't necessarily for yourself (in a sense); it's about what the people you make for want.
