A good spot , good Philosophy...

This is a good spot we have these days in TV. I absolutely love it, not only because it is about Barça,just because it shares good principles  for life. When talking about doing good and hard work, not trusting good luck, I agree. When talking about being humble and working as a whole team, I agree. When saying we must remain ourselves, I agree.

A guide to good design.

"So how do we know if a design is good? Simply put, good design raises spirits and makes life a little easier. Good design is essentially a matter of problem solving. Engineers solve mechanical problems. Designers solve human problems -or should. If the design does not work well, it may be art, but it is not good design. To make an object work, functionally and aesthetically, it must be placed in its proper context. A chair must fit into the room. The room must fit into the house.The house must fit into the street. The street must fit into the city."

Ten criteria for a good Design.

I knew about this publication in Isuu, on jpspradley's profile, and became immediately interested on it.. His author tells us about Dieter Ram’s famous Ten Principles for Good Design. In 1980 this accomplished industrial designer asked himself if his design was good design and established these concise criteria. According to them, GOOD DESIGN IS:

• Innovative - useful - aesthetic - self-explanatory - unobtrusive - honest – durable – thorough - concerned with the environment – as little design as possible…

It is worth reading calmly if you enjoy design.
