It's July, it's hot, and many people, including myself, have taken or are planning to take some much-needed time off. As a result, I decided to keep this month's newsletter short, light, and entertaining by sharing a few design quotes that motivated me and will hopefully inspire, revitalize, and help you beat the summer heat.
"Design is all about finding solutions within. If there were no constraints, it’s not design – it’s art.” - Martias Duarte, Vice President of Design at Google
“Accessibility is not about designing for the few. It is designing for us all.” – Paul Boag, Design Educator
"Anyone can see the adversity in a difficult situation, but it takes a stronger person to see the opportunity." – Drew Brees, Former NFL quarterback
"If the thing that I wanted most had happened ... I wouldn't be where I am." – Conan O'Brien, Comedian
“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” – Pablo Picasso
“Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“The life of a designer is a life of fight: fight against the ugliness. Just like a doctor fights against disease. For us, the visual disease is what we have around, and what we try to do is to cure it somehow, with design.” – Massimo Vignelli, Designer

The name of this month's newsletter is taken from the 1974 hit song "Summer Madness" by Kool & the Gang.
