Although some of my ideas about good design differ from Rams’,
I can definitely draw a lot of inspirations for his 10 “rules.” I’d like to
keep in mind, after doing this reading that good design must not detract from
the original purpose of the object. It is innovative but not over-powering - sometimes
the less eccentric option is the best one. Also, that good design is thorough
down to the last detail. I have a tendency to rush things when I have an
impeding deadline or just other things on my mind and I must remember that
rule. But finally, that good design is
as little design as possible. In all of these rules I think that this one is
the most compelling. As little design as possible is quite challenging when you
think about it. I know that in my work I like to embellish, but maybe this is
not always the best route to take. Maybe the embellishments take away from the
beauty of a simplistic design and take away from the final product, itself.
