Tibor Kalman quotes about
imperfection insanity flying
I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.
smarter
You'll never go wrong when you work with someone smarter than you.
always-trying down-and looks
I'm always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better.
differences design great-design
The difference between good design and great design is INTELLIGENCE
successful knowing perfect
The perfect state of creative bliss is having power (you are 50) and knowing nothing (you are 9). This assures an interesting and successful outcome.
ideas style ifs
If you don't have an idea, all you have is style.
people giving information
Pictures are so good at giving people information that they're not looking for.
communication thinking skills
What is said determines who listens and who understands. Graphic design is a language, but graphic designers are so busy worrying about the nuances - accents, punctuation and so on - that they spend little time thinking about what the words add up to. I’m interested in using our communication skills to change the way things are.
perspective appreciated moments
Perspective is a moment in time that cannot be fully appreciated until that moment has passed.
sound boring
I'm not against beauty, it just sounds boring to me.
flying planes unpredictability
We don't talk about planes flying. We talk about them crashing.
stories use
I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.
culture contradiction term
Consumer culture is contradiction in terms
photography believe being-true
I believe that this whole question of some photography being true and some untrue is a non-question. Photography is not objective; it never was objective.
