De•sign [dəzajn] is a
method of problem solving.
The simplest definition. Design is so many things, executed in many different ways, but the function is always the same. Whether it’s blueprints, a clever UI, a brochure, or a chair – design can help solve a visual or physical problem. 1
So what is
“good design”?
- The versatile design and USB connectivity let you use a variety of wireless controllers to play games on PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch. Featuring advanced Bluetooth connectivity, this 8BitDo wireless USB adapter lets you play games without tangled cables and offers smooth, lag-free response.
- Prior to starting Push Pop Press he worked at Apple where he designed user interfaces and artwork for the iPhone, the iPad, and Mac OS X. Before that he cofounded Delicious Monster, a software company that created Delicious Library.

Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles of “Good Design”
(Wow, how convenient is that?)
Dieter Rams is a German industrial designer closely associated with the consumer products company Braun and functionalist industrial design.
According to Vitsœ: Back in the early 1980s, aware that his design was a significant contributor to the world, he asked himself an important question:
'Is my design good design?'
Since good design can't be measured in a finite way, he set about expressing the ten most important principles for what he considered was good design. (Sometimes they are referred as the ‘Ten commandments’.) Here they are. 3
Good design is…
“We designers, we don’t work in a vacuum. We need business people. We are not the fine artists we are often confused with. Today you find few companies that take design seriously, as I see it.”
— Dieter Rams
Good design can’t be achieved with glossy buttons or masterful wireframes alone. It’s a merger of all these principles into something that is meaningful and deliberate.
Just like a great business plan is nothing without expert execution, a great Photoshop mockup is nothing, for example, without careful consideration to UI or the user’s needs.

These are really hard questions to answer. Designers enable you to work within these constraints to create a product customers will fall in love with. Love is a really strong emotion.
Dieter Rams and his contemporaries started a movement in 20th Century towards simple and beautiful products. Design was a strongly valued aspect of business, even 60 years ago. It totally has a place in business today – it’s a proven method.
