It’s something I am very passionate about, designing clothes and being creative and fashion-forward.
In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good.
And I think that still is true of this business – which is basically research and development – that you probably spend more time in planning and training and designing for things to go wrong, and how you cope with them, than you do for things to go right.
When designing a workout program for high level performers, factors such as body type, previous training experience, and even pain tolerance come into play.
Designing was an effortless exercise and something I always enjoyed.
Having made a real 3D movie, you realize that, right from the production design, you’re designing sets that complement the 3D. You’re designing interactive elements, like rain or smoke – all this particulate matter in the air enhances the 3D. But if you’re shooting in 2D, you don’t know about that.
Luckily, I went to school at CalArts, and then ended up here at Disney, starting in the Animation Building and working my way up. I started as an animator, and then did character designing and storyboarding, and eventually, directing.
Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It’s a bit like Christmas – each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.
Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger.
When I design, I always design around denim. I think of designing as a lifestyle. I design for that career oriented girl who will be sitting at an office all day long, but is still going out and being social at night.
John Schlesinger had one of his friends designing it and he had never done a film before. Ten days before it started, they didn’t have any costumes. I was rung up and joined up.
Designing a collection with Aeropostale was completely surreal.
I’m fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.
I’ve been designing my own pieces for a long time. My mother’s a jewelry designer, so we knew at some point we were going to do a line and dive into the fashion world.
I always feel like a woman designing for a woman. I know what you want to accentuate and what you want to hide.
What makes us unique is that we actually build things. Unlike most hotel companies who just manage and have no experience building, designing, and developing a hotel, we started off on the opposite track. We started off building. We’re construction guys first and foremost.
I don’t listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.
In designing shoes for myself; I’m not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I’m just not thinking of clothes at all. I’m always thinking of a naked woman, actually.
In many respects, designing heirloom products means saying no to designing consumer crap that you know will not last very long.
I was probably born with some designing abilities.
If you’re designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer’s not going to take notice.
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, ‘Hey, guys, let’s be women, put the two together – it’s not either/or. Let’s celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.’
I described the CEO job as knowing what to do and getting the company to do what you want. Designing a proper company culture will help you get your company to do what you want in certain important areas for a very long time.
I’m interested in designing for posterity.
Instead of using the machine as a metaphor for architecture, as Le Corbusier did, I use the human body. I want the public to know that it’s them I’m designing for.
We can’t think in terms of designing products that we throw over the wall to customers, but instead, we need to design products that are upgradable and maintainable and that can be mined for materials and components that can be reused.
Homes are always a reflection of the people in them, my whole job is to understand the psychology of the family I am designing for, the world of design they’d like to live within, be happy and comfortable in.
I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things.
The Federal Reserve is not charged with designing or evaluating proposals for housing finance reform. But we are responsible for regulating and supervising banking institutions to ensure their safety and soundness, and more broadly for the stability of the financial system.
Farmers and agricultural authorities must take account of climate change and the prospect of increased rainfall in designing strategies to mitigate the effects of nutrient pollution.
As far as documentaries, ‘Man on Wire,’ ‘Atomic Cafe,’ ‘Waltz With Bashir,’ and ‘Thin Blue Line’ all offered me different perspectives to consider as we were designing the structure and approach to ‘Tower.’
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
I’m into fashion and designing clothes and stuff.
Designing Woman was written for the screen.
When designing your product, go beyond consumers’ current knowledge base. Design, test, and dig deeper than almost any client would pay you to do.
I liked the challenge of designing and building things, figuring out how something works and how to make it better or apply it in a different way.
Music is my greatest love. It is also my first love. But I love a lot of things, including painting, drawing, writing, designing, and more.
Since I was 5, I was bitten by the bug of designing. It was all around me in my home.
I do love the clothes on ‘Mad Men’ because my character has been so elegant and I would never have had access to these clothes. I think Janie Bryant is a costume designing genius. They’ll call and tell me, ‘It will only take an hour,’ and I’m like, ‘I will try on the whole truck!’
Indeed, an engineer designing a structure is not unlike an artist painting one. Both start with nothing but talent, experience, and inspiration. The fresh piece of paper on the drawing board is as blank as the newly stretched piece of canvas.
I watch a TV show called ‘Shark Tank.’ It’s one of my favorite TV shows. It’s basically self-made millionaires who have either come up with their own business or clothing… I came up with the idea of designing clothes.
I moved out to Los Angeles with the idea of becoming a director, which thousands, if not tens and hundreds of thousands, of people do, every year. It’s a very competitive field, of course. I immediately got swept away into the visual side of things, starting with visual effects, and then designing.
I try to just focus on what feels right to me when I am conceiving it, conceptualizing, designing, etc. and then talk it through with the team and listen to what they have to say. This kind of thing is a team effort, and working with a great team is the most important part of filmmaking for me.
If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.
After working on redesigning so many homes and using whatever furniture I could find, I am so excited to be designing my own collection of home furnishings that are stylish at a great price.
I grew up with very elegant parents; their black and white photographs and style are still a huge source of inspiration in designing my collections.
The same time I’m designing my collection, I’m also designing my store. It has to have brand awareness, an identity. I’m also designing the racks and the hangers, and juggling a lot of things.
I have a cell phone that doesn’t behave like a phone: It behaves like a computer that makes calls. Computers are becoming an integral part of daily life. And if people don’t start designing them to be more user-friendly, then an even larger part of the population is going to be left out of even more stuff.
I personally – if I were designing the tax code – would have a tax code in which Mitt Romney paid more than 13 percent, given what I know about the kind of investments he made money from.
I’ve always wanted to get involved with designing a video game.
If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education.
Designing and creating dance clothes has taken my love for dancewear to a whole other level, melding the creative process with my daily fashion and allowing me to bring my most dreamed-about ballet styles to life.
It’s time architects start designing for our ears as well as our eyes.
I try to be a positive person, but I’m also always looking and wondering, ‘Maybe this could be done differently.’ As soon as your mind is in a critical mode, you’re halfway through designing; as soon as you start thinking about whether something could be better, you’re already halfway through a solution.
I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence.
