Compliance | "All good design happens when you know your constraints. One definition of design is that it isn't possible without a set of constraints, that it is the relationship between the constraints and the solution that makes design possible. All they mean when they complain about these constraints is that they either don't know how to work within them, or they're unhappy that they have to work within them—which mean they're unhappy being designers, and just want to play with colors and shapes and call that design." Steven Champeon [Digital Web]

This period will not be remembered for the innovation. It will be remembered as the stumbling slow kid who had to spend a long time intoning 'SEE SPOT RUN.'" Owen Briggs [inflight correction]
