this is a quote style poster of Dieter Rams
pretty sure it's not done my Dieter Rams himself but I found it on a site 
that was talking about "lessons in style by dieter rams"


this piece really stood out to me 
it's so simple and easy to make yet i still like it a lot
it's how clean and professional it is that it gives it a nice aesthetic

for example i really love the way the picture of him is right next to the text and it's a little smaller than the text and put in the right hand side of the picture 
which makes it look like an I.D

secondly the text on the left hand side is in such an attractive font, it's simple and professional and the quote finishes with his name in a different colour which makes it stick out and become more bold

it may not be a manifesto but i am still inspired by this piece and will definitely try something out like this in my manifesto












this is a piece:

by Dieter Rams


named:

'10 principles of good design'


I just really love the simplicity in this design

there's:
10 points
10 pictures

it's in black and white 
it has a clean cut font
it's very monochrome
and to top it all off it has a solid clean aesthetic

whats not to love

this piece just inspires me in general
not just for my manifesto but for all my work hopefully

two of the points that i really loved on this manifesto are:

Good design is long-lasting

It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.
Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years 
even in today’s throwaway society

Good design is as little design as possible

Less, but better
because it concentrates on the essential aspects
and the products are not burdened with non-essentials

Back to purity, back to simplicity.
