| Description: | Blog describes Dieter Ram's 10 commandments of design. 01. Good design is innovative. 02. Good design makes a product useful. 03. Good design is aesthetic. 04. Good design helps us to understand a product. 05. Good design is unobtrusive. 06. Good design is honest. 07. Good design has longevity. 08. Good design is consequent to the last detail. 09. Good design is concerned with the environment. 10. Good design is as little design as possible. "The basic principles and guidelines of good design rarely change and the main keys to successful design apply to design disciplines across the board from industrial to web to architecture. Take the 10 commandments of design as expressed by Dieter Rams in the 1980’s - his criteria are still very relevant today. Dieter Rams is a German industrial designer who is regarded as one of the most influential industrial designers of the 20th century. Many speculate that Jonathan Ive, principal designer of the iMac, the iPod and the iPhone, has been influenced by Dieter Rams’ designs." |
