A couple quick quotes on the meaning of design: "In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service." - Steve Jobs
“...you cannot have depths without surfaces. They communicate with what is within; between the two there is always a great dialogue.” - Linda Grant
