A book

Its easier for me to write here so that i wont lost it =)

Good design is responsible design - smth i agree with

Henry Dreyfuss
Henry Dreyfuss dogged concern about how people use things
what we need to lead a happy lives, how we see the world around us,
how our unique body measurement sand movements determine our relationship
to tools and rooms and other things.

"He reminds us that there is considerate, sympathetic thought behind every great objects."

Dreyfuss learned to type before he designed a type writer,
he drove a tractor before he designed one,
he hung around department store before he would design a shop.
It's inspiring to talk about the "man in the brown suit" as the conservatively suited.
Depressions era industrial designer came to be known. He connected with humanity.
That's what a responsible designer does. This gift for making connections becomes the glue
that holds us together after our world is torn apart on that sunny ... day.
