I have to explain a lot what I/M/D as a study is about. So in the train a while ago and I started to write what I/M/D includes. But when writing it, it also became personal, since I also get that question quite often. readmore

LIVE OUT OF YOUR IMAGINATION, NOT YOUR HISTORY.

Steven R. Covey

GOOD DESIGNERS MUST ALWAYS BE AVANT-GARDISTS, ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE TIMES. THEY SHOULD — AND MUST — QUESTION EVERYTHING GENERALLY THOUGHT TO BE OBVIOUS. THEY MUST HAVE AN INTUITION FOR PEOPLE’S CHANGING ATTITUDES. FOR THE REALITY IN WHICH THEY LIVE, FOR THEIR DREAMS, THEIR DESIRES, THEIR WORRIES, THEIR NEEDS, THEIR LIVING HABITS. THEY MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO ASSESS REALISTICALLY THE OPPORTUNITIES AND BOUNDS OF TECHNOLOGY.

Dieter Rams

MAKE NO LITTLE PLANS. THEY HAVE NO MAGIC TO STIR MEN’S BLOOD AND PROBABLY THEMSELVES WILL NOT BE REALIZED. MAKE BIG PLANS; AIM HIGH IN HOPE AND WORK, REMEMBERING THAT A NOBLE, LOGICAL DIAGRAM ONCE RECORDED WILL NEVER DIE, BUT LONG AFTER WE ARE GONE WILL BE A LIVING THING, ASSERTING ITSELF WITH EVERGROWING INSISTENCY. REMEMBER THAT OUR SONS AND GRANDSONS ARE GOING TO DO THINGS THAT WOULD STAGGER US. LET YOUR WATCHWORD BE ORDER AND YOUR BEACON BEAUTY. THINK BIG.

Daniel Burnham, architect (1864-1912)

DON’T CRY BECAUSE IT’S OVER. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED.

WHY JOIN THE NAVY IF YOU CAN BE A PIRATE?
