<h4>The importance of defining good design</h4>
<blockquote><p>Design principles articulate the fundamental goals that all decisions can be measured against and thereby keep the pieces of a project moving toward an integrated whole.<br />— Luke Wroblewski</p></blockquote>
<p>As we enter a new year, adopt emerging technology or evolve our existing design systems, it’s valuable to look back on <a href="https://readymag.com/shuffle/dieter-rams/">past design principles</a> that continue hold true today.</p>
<p>I believe that by defining the ideology of good design, we can learn to be more thoughtful and responsible designers — and ultimately move toward creating a sustainable future.</p>
<p>Here’s a set of resources that I’ve found helpful when looking for how different companies and groups of creatives approach good product design.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://principles.design/">Design Principles</a> — a giant open source resource created to help you understand and create design principles</li>
<li><a href="https://principles.adactio.com/">Design Principles</a> — a helpful list of principles organized by category, collected by <a href="https://medium.com/@adactio">Jeremy Keith</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.designprinciplesftw.com/">Design Principles ftw</a> — another resource compiling design principles</li>
<li><a href="https://www.ideo.com/people/tim-brown">Tim Brown</a>’s blog post on <a href="https://designthinking.ideo.com/?p=409">design principles</a></li>
</ul>
