how good is good? summary

"move from creating cool things to significant things"

GOOD DESIGN + GOOD CAUSE = GOOD



This article talks about the difference from designing things that look "cool" to designing things that are significant. What is interesting is how far you can analyze the how your design impacts others. While designers are looked down upon for advertising and " persuading people to buy things they don’t need, with money they don’t have, in order to impress others that don’t care” I like how he explains the extremes of design, how you can focus solely on promoting yourself or work only for others. One of my favorite parts of the article is his story on how he was wrong. What i love about design and each new project is the constant trial and error learning that comes along with it. It is refreshing to hear even he makes mistakes.
