Good Design! Good Design? Good Design:

Well an exclamation! , a question mark? or a colon:
all apart if I have to put it very simply and factually - a good design indeed is what serves best for the purpose.

Here's something on 'design' I would love to share here with my readers.
"
Design constructs a visual language for the purpose of communication.

It organizes and gives form to a message in a way that adds value and meaning.

It functions to organize, clarify, persuade, and add drama to an otherwise overlooked idea.

Design plays a primary role in the interpretation of a message.

It creates the crucial persistent impression.

It encourages examination and generates interest.

Accessible, understandable information and beauty of form can engage observers and arrest their attention.

A confusing, poorly designed message will miss its target almost every time.

In a world where information flows abundantly, our minds have developed filters to sift through the overflow of useless data.

While design must appeal to the aesthetic, it must not stand in the way of delivery, cause complications, or introduce stumbling blocks.

Rather, the presence of design should simplify and facilitate our everyday life"



Let these mantras assist you to refine / re-define your designs, making them 'ultimate' product/s or service/s.

Cheers!
