-
“I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.” Freddie Mercury
- “As computers have become more powerful, computer graphics have advanced to the point where it’s possible to create photo-realistic images. The bottleneck wasn’t, ‘How do we make pixels prettier?’ It was, ‘How do we engage with them more?” Jefferson Han
- “For us, it’s about having the game react to the player as much as possible. There’s ways you can do that with technology, graphics, AI – we’re doing some VR stuff right now – and so it’s what we think is great about not just our games, but what’s great about video games – how are they better than any other form of entertainment?” Todd Howard
- “The PC is successful because we’re all benefiting from the competition with each other. If Twitter comes along, our games benefit. If Nvidia makes better graphics technology, all the games are going to shine. If we come out with a better game, people are going to buy more PCs.” Gabe Newell
-
“I think by drawing, so I’ll draw or diagram everything from a piece of furniture to a stage gesture. I understand things best when they’re in graphics, not words.” Robert Wilson
- “Meteorologists don’t use a script, and most create their own graphics and certainly put together their own forecasts.

Our accuracy is amazing and will only continue to improve.” Ginger Zee
- “I actually got into music because of art and because of skateboarding: All those graphics and punk bands and fanzines – they were glued together in my brain.” Alison Mosshart

- “The summer of 1991, I took $2,000 of my savings and a desktop program, and I asked my friends to write 800 words about something they cared about. I got eight or nine articles and put them together. It was no frills, black and white, no graphics. I printed them out and just dumped piles around D.C.” Eric Liu
- “It can’t be stressed enough that in order to produce great graphics, you have to have a good product and a good client capable of making decisions.” Primo Angeli
-

For a director who spends most of his time looking down a lens or in the digitization studio or working out some graphics, he is actually very good with actors.” Bernard Hill
- “There has to be the popcorn genre element, or I don’t engage the same way. I like action and vehicle design and guns and computer graphics as much as I like allegory. It’s a constant balancing game. I want audiences to be on this rollercoaster that fits the Hollywood mould, but I also want them to absorb my observations.” Neill Blomkamp
-
