Design and Creativity

I am sharing some powerful quotes on design and creativity in this Nano. As always, reflect on these.

“Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible.” – Donald A. Norman

“Design is not just about what it looks like and feels like; Design is how it works.” – Steve Jobs

“Creativity is not about Design, Logo or some magic pill. It is about seeing things differently and making others see what they cannot see” – Amar Pandit

Now that you see design in a different vein, can you think of good designs that indeed felt invisible. If so, I am curious to hear about it.
