Dieter Rams and Don Norman Responses

Dieter Rams


The ten principles of design mentioned in the article  are all very true about design. Then after looking at objects more closely I begin to realize that most objects without most of the ten are not good quality or worth taking a second look at, like some of the objects I chose did not fit into the "good design" category.

Don Norman


Don Norman talks about design that makes us happy but may not be useful. It may be pleasing to the eye, fun, or pleasant but it may not work or be good design. But he is focusing on how to make design fun. In photography, the picture may look fun and please the eye but it needs to be good design and fun to make you happy.
