Response to Dieter Ram's Ten principles of Good Design

The principles that Dieter Ram highlights in this article are areas that we all subconsciously know make a good design. After reading the article I realized that the principles are really a criteria as to what we look for to satisfy our needs in a design. Of course the product needs to be useful and we need to be able to understand the product. It needs not to be complicated or overcome by design so much that it get in the way of the ability to use the object. I don't consciously think if the design is eco-friendly or if the product is long lasting when I am trying an object for the first time. All that I care initially is if it gets the job done. When the outcome makes me happy, I then discover that the design is good for me.
