Taste for Makers
2 days ago
- Taste is not purely subjective; it can be cultivated and is crucial for creating good design.
- Good design principles include simplicity, timelessness, solving the right problem, and being suggestive.
- Effective design often appears slightly funny, requires hard work, and looks easy when done well.
- Symmetry and resemblance to nature are common features of successful design.
- Great design involves redesign, copying from others, and embracing strangeness.
- Innovation thrives in collaborative communities and often challenges conventional wisdom.
- Recognizing ugliness and striving to fix it is a key driver of great work.
