10 Commandments

I'm not so sure I agree with Dieter Rams 10 Principles for good Design number 7 being long lasting- to avoid being fashionable. Design must be functional but still must be appealing to the eye or consumers would look right past it. Especially nowadays when most consumers want the most modern looking product. If it is long lasting and if the design is simple it will be fashionable for a long period of time.

Everything is Design

Design is in our everyday lives. What you wear, what you see, the car you drive, your bedspread, even the layout of our campus is inspired by design. Being a design student, I look at everything more in depth now. I wonder what the designer was thinking when creating the design and how it would effect those around it. Some designs are very practical, others targeted towards a certain audience. All of the aspects of design are very important and I look forward to learning how I can incorporate those aspects into successful designs.
