Let’s dig in to why this is such entertainingly bad design….Before we dive into the theory of design — browse here for more examples of awful design.Back? It’s important to understand why good design is so important. People make subtle design mistakes when designing everyday objects constantly. As Don Norman says in the Design of Everyday Things:“Design is really an act of communication, which means having a deep understanding of the person with whom the designer is communicating.”Most designers don’t design things for people. They design solutions to their own problems (i.e. I want to make attractive things, I want to finish this project etc). When Don wrote DoET he was speaking about kettles, microwaves, and doors. But the same applies to User Interfaces, public transportation systems and the (...)

Cartographic design principles | Resources | Ordnance Survey

C’est un peu réducteur, et il manque sans doute des éléments de réflexions, mais ces principes sont une bonne base pour un débat et des doiscussions autour de la question m"thodologie en carto. Pour référence ici :

German industrial designer, Dieter Rams, once asked himself a question, ’Is my design good design?’ The answer formed the basis for his renowned ‘ten principles of good design’.

Inspired by this we have put together our own list of cartographic design principles to promote good map design.

They are ‘what works best for us’ but are also intended as a useful guide for anybody making a map, from Ordnance Survey customers to budding neo-cartographers.

It is certainly not our intention to lecture others on what is right or wrong. The purpose of our principles is to offer some useful guidelines that we believe are relevant to map design and in many cases will stimulate better cartography.

Understanding of user requirements

Consideration of display format

A clear visual hierarchy

Simplicity

Legibility

Consistency

Accessibility

Good composition

The designer must be the gestaltingenieur or creative engineer. They synthesise the completed product from the various elements that make up its design. Their work is largely rational, meaning that aesthetic decisions are justified by an understanding of the product’s purpose.

To use design to impress, to polish things up, to make them chic, is no design at all. This is packaging.

The complexity of systems and shortage of natural resources should compel a change of individual attitudes and attitudes as a society. We learn as individuals and we learn as a group. We are beginning to understand the changes that we are only just seeing. We must take notice with increasing soberness and, hopefully, with growing alertness and rationalism.

Music For Dieter Rams | Jon Brooks

A mini-album. A study on limited resources. The space between a second. A dedication to one of the most important figures in modern domestic design - Dieter Rams. No more, no less. Less and More.

“Every sound on this record, from the melodic sounds to the percussion, the atmospheric effects to the bass lines originates from the Braun AB-30 alarm clock.”
