Dieter Rams talks about these principles in the documentary 'Objectified'. It's a great film about design and I'd would recommend it to anyone whether you are in graphics, web, industrial, interior..any type of design. Thanks for sharing this!

Number 8, "good design is thorough down to the last detail," is so true. It really is a pleasure to use a tool or object and realize that someone really put a lot of thought into how it will work and function. That extra thought really differentiates a good design from a great one. Thanks for sharing this. Number 8, “good design is thorough down to the last detail,” is so true.

Those principles are pretty much universal and can be applied to anything. It was refreshing watching that video this morning, and has helped kick start my day a bit! Great post, David!
