The use of the grid as an ordering system is the expression of a certain mental attitude inasmuch as it shows that the designer concieves his work in terms that are constructive and oriented toward the future.
Design which is objective, committed to the common weal, well composed and refined constititutes the basis of democratic behavior...Work done systematically and in accordance with strict formal principles makes those demands for directness, intelligibility and the integration of all factors which are also vital in sociopolitical life.
Working with the grid system means submitting to laws of universal validity.
The use of the grid system implies:
the will to systematize, to clarify
the will to penetrate to the essentials, to concentrate
the will to cultivate objectivity instead of subjectivity
the will to rationalize the creative and technical production processes...
...the will to adopt a positive, forward-looking attitude
the recognition of the importance of education and the effect of work devised in a construction and creative spirit.
Every visual creative work is a manifestation of the character of the designer. It is a reflection of his knowledge, his ability, and his mentality.

my fav:
"the process is what gets you to the final result, there is no formula or grid or prearranged design. The content drives the design."

where does that come from radar? I don't subscribe completely to that optimistic viewpoint, but in a perfect world, maybe...

Design is the contrast of the core of limitations therefore there are no boundaries. It is simply an interpretation of creativity.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

design is design. and design can't be anything but design if design of the design is design. design design and design*head explodes

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

David Carson said it at a lecture in college, not even a big fan of his work, but that always stuck with me. Especially when my thought process/execution starts to become repetitive.
