Key to many a product manager’s pursuits is excellence in user experience and design. And, so too, is this true for Giff. With his prize, he purchased the very cool book, from one of the most influential product designers of the 20th century, "Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible". An excellent read for any product manager, Dieter’s ideas can probably best be summed up in his 10 principles of good design:
- Good design is innovative, useful, and aesthetic.
- Good design should be make a product easily understood.
- Good design is unobtrusive, honest, durable, thorough, and concerned with the environment.
- Most of all, good design is as little design as possible.
Again, congratulations to Andres Glusman #TBPP2012 and his first nominator, Giff Constable! Keep up the great work and we look forward to many more of your exciting contributions to the product community.
And, don’t forget, take a moment and congratulate The Best Product Person of 2012:Andres Glusman. (tweet)
