Good design is innovative.

Good design makes a product useful. 

Good design is aesthetic.

Good design makes a product understandable. 

Good design is honest.

Good design is unobtrusive.

                                   (It should be modest rather than excessive.)  

Good design is long-lasting. 

Good design is thorough down to the last detail. 

Good design is environmentally friendly. 

Good design is as little design as possible.

                                                   (Be as un-artificial as possible.)
