The industrial designer is an artist because he shapes things in an effort to give order and beauty to a mass of material, and because in doing so he infuses emotional content into an inanimate object [... a designer] will be judged ultimately on [...] the vision with which he establishes his standards and the courage with which he sticks by them.
