What is Good Design?

How do I count the ways?

Here are ten principles for good design as seen by Dieter Rams, innovative designer of electronic items.

Since the headings take a while to load, I will list them:
Good design…

  • is innovative
  • makes a product useful
  • is aesthetic
  • makes a product understandable
  • is unobtrusive
  • is honest
  • is long-lasting
  • is thorough, down to the last detail
  • is environmentally friendly
  • and … is as little design as possible.
