In this class we spoke about the difference between good and bad design.
According to me, a good design is :
- Good design is innovative.
- Good design is focused.
- Good design makes a product useful.
- Good design is aesthetic.
- Good design helps us to understand a product.
- Good design is unobtrusive.
- Good design is honest.
- Good design is durable.
- Meets all technical and cost requirements.
- Creates no ethical dilemma.
- Follows gestalt principles.
- Follows a colour scheme.
- Has typographic hierarchy.
On the other hand, for me a bad design is :
- Doesn’t meet all the technical and cost requirements.
- Raises ethical questions.
- Is not convenient/comfortable for the user.
- Has no visual hierarchy.
- Lacks visual direction.
- Is not understandable.
- Is not aesthetically pleasing.
- Is it self explanatory.
- Is distracting.
- Is difficult to use.
Some examples of bad design are : usb cord, glass bottles for ketchup.
