Good Design Manifesto












via core77

The Good Design Manifesto, created by Richard Shed, is a collection of 100 brief responses from industry experts to the question "what is good design?"

Here you will find three short videos from 100% design London 2008.

Good design...
...makes ordinary people's life more meaningful. (Lavrans Lovrie, Livework)
...brings the intelligence of nature together with man's production capabilities. (Jonathan Prestwich)
...is finding new places where what we can dream meets what we can make happen. (John Miller and Anna Hart, Mark)
...is considerate and harmonious. (Paul Velentine, Smallpond)
...is sooo boring. We need GREAT design: Vision. Humanity. Sex. Death. Art. Love. (Richard Eisermann)
...is serious fun. (Nina Tolstrup)
...is no longer about 20th century debates around form or function. Good design will ensure we got a future on this planet.
