Dieter Rams: 10 Timeless Commandments for Good Design Who is Dieter Rams, first of all?

“Everything is design. Everything!”

Wherever you may go and whatever you may see, design will always be there. May it be from posters, walls, tables, chairs, mugs, chandeliers, banners, phones, computers, shoes, clothes and the list go on but the mere fact stays that everything is designed. If you want something done for your product, service, brand or business, then the best approach would be to find a designer because they are the ones who design everything that you can see. I, as a designer, focused my craft majorly in logo design and graphic design. I just find it more into what I can and want to do, that even the software I use to create these designs are also akin to my skills.
