What is good design?

Good design:

is able to move beyond it's physical space
(imprints meaning on the viewer, it applies to more than just it's current medium)

is timeless

is useful

is intuitive without being predictable

gives just enough to allow the viewer's mind to complete the picture (a partnership between creator and user)

adapts to change

grows with the user

allows for discovery

is a fresh surprise

is beautiful

is sustainable


Good design in essence is nature.
