Professional Studies in Art and design - 10 Commandments of Design

Dieter Rams on the 10 commandments of design


1) Design is DETAILED - Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer.


2) Design is AESTHETIC - Beauty means nothing if its not useful

3) Design is HONEST - does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept

4) Design is USEFUL - satisfy certain criteria to the consumer

5) Design is INNOVATIVE - always evolving
6) Design is ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY - important contribution to the preservation of the environment

7) Design is UNOBTRUSIVE - Not demanding too much attention. Design should be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user’s self-expression.

8) Design is DURABLE - never appears antiquated
9) Design is SIMPLE - less is more

10) Design is EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE - make the product clearly express its function by making use of the user’s intuition.
