Quote, unquote: On starting small

Before launching I.D. Charles Whitney, the publisher of Interiorsmagazine, ran into the industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss on the street. “Henry,” he exclaimed, “I’m about to start a magazine for industrial designers.” “That’s great,” Dreyfuss replied. “There are 14 of us.”

-- from an interesting memoir of I.D. magazine written by one of its former editors-in-chief, Ralph Caplan for AIGA website (the oldest and largest association in the U.S. for professional designers). I.D. was folded last month after 55 years of publication.
