The Ten Commandments

Dieter Rams was considered to be the precursor to Jonathan Ive of Apple Design fame.

For those that haven't seen some of the design blogs over the last few years, Dieter Rams was the head designer of Braun Electronics. Looking at some of his products may remind some of you about certain current Apple products. However Dieter's products were designed almost 30 years before the current batch of Apple goodies.

Take a look here to see some examples of the similarities and a bit more about him and Jonathan Ive.

Anyway the reason why i mention this, was because i recently came across Dieter Rams Ten Commandments of Good Design.
For those that read my earlier post on good product design, this reinforces the thought and effort that goes into creating good design.

Read the commandments here.
