Principles of Good Design
Good design is as little design as possible. Less, but better — because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.
Innovative design is creative, visionary, and original. It must be functional — it must satisfy certain criteria, not only aesthetic, but also psychological and ecological.
