"Design sits uncomfortably between two extremes - a word full of incongruities, has innumerable manifestations, and lacks boundaries that give clarify and definition. As a practice, design generates vast quantities of material, much of it ephemeral, only a small proportion of which has enduring quality."
-John Heskett from Toothpicks and Logos: Design in Everday Life
