Things People Said: Good design is

Things People Said

A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• The fear of childishness
• Black Perl cometh
• Death and Rebirth
• Nothing else?
• Common sense and a sense of humor
• Never totally at home
• Little things
• Modern life
• A True Original
• Optimism

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

Good design is

Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design helps us to understand a product.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is durable.
Good design is consequent to the last detail.
Good design is concerned with the environment.
Good design is as little design as possible.
Back to purity, back to simplicity.

-- Dieter Rams, from his profile on DesignMuseum
