Fantastic video! Great content, music, shots, pacing... very well-made. I noticed the gray progress bar at the bottom. I can't help but address it from a functional design standpoint, given the focus of the video. If someone is interested in skimming to use as little time as possible, they will probably hover their cursor and can already see the progress through individual chapters, making the gray bar redundant. Speaking as someone who planned to watch the whole video, I found it more distracting than helpful. It took the focus off the video itself and made me think about what I have to do after it's over, which isn't what I'm looking for. I can't fault you for trying something new!
I agree. although clever and clean, i found it to pull me out of the video. Mostly it's redundant as the timeline already exists on youtube. Not worth your extra effort to do this.
I thought it was very clever too. Though once I noticed it, it started distracting me also - not visually, but just in knowing it's there. I know time management is important on this channel but I enjoy getting lost in a video sometimes - which is easy to do on Titch's channel 🙂
Loved the video! Regarding the “half full bag of chips” i think it’s done this way to work as an airbag to protect the chips from breaking! Not sure it is true but make sense tho. Keep up with the amazing work :)
I teach freshmen. I nag my students to (actively, purposefully) design the space. Many get it and try/practice. Some just reason out that it is minimalist that's why nothing's there but an empty square box. Irks me.
Can you do a video for newborns and how you keep things minimalist for parents-to-be. im pretty much a minimalist and have been trying to find a good video out there for baby products that are of good quality and without unnecessary clutter in their design.
Watching this is 2024, and I STILL have my macbook pro from 2014 as well!! I have to use all cloud-based, but still works well. I have not lost a dime for the heafty pricepoint. Thank you, love all your videos!
Innovative, useful, aesthetic, understandable, unobtrusive, honest, long lasting, thorough down to last detail, sustainable, as little design as possible
Wow! Did you know that your video is linked as reference within a Meta (Facebook) UI/UX course on Coursera? I'm already a subscriber so I was pleasantly surprised to get linked here!
Excellent video Daniel. Will defo have to watch many times again for future projects👍 Hat-tip on the nod to old MBP users. Still rocking that Late2013 daily 🤟🏼
I had 10 years Dell inspiron 1420. My father got it second-hand from my uncle in 2009 (or 2010, I forgot). It still work well till 2019. Sadly, in 2020 a lot of application don't support windows 7.
This videos is also well designed. - Honest : Exactly talks about what it was intended for. - Timeless : Contents in this video are useful forever. - Aesthetic : Right off from background music to the visuals. - Minimal : Straight to the point without any clutter - Useful : I can easily understand the points I also love how you integrated the sponsor at the end of the video
Great video! The examples and with the sense they've been communicated as adjacents to the aspects of "Good Design", helped create relatability without fail. Thank you for this! 😁
Can you do a video on flooring recommendations that are functional cheap. My parents switched out carpeting for vinyl flooring in my apartment but now my neighbor downstairs constantly complains about the noise
Nice! So glad I've subscribed to this channel. I learn so many useful tips and pick up some of your wise insights that can surely come in handy during my studies in architecture school.
This is awesome Daniel! Although I was already familiar with the 10 principles, your explanation, examples and take on each principle were super interesting and made the video worth the watch! Looking forward to the next design focused video 🙂
Great video and very nice way of distilling these principles -- thanks for creating this. It really helps to understand the influences on Jony Ive and others who have shaped our experience of tech especially. But the focus on design as a guiding principle for simplicity/essentialism in lifestyle is also compelling. Very nice job on this -- again, thanks!
If you haven't read it, Don Norman's 'The Design of Everyday Things' was the book that introduced these ideas to me as well. It alone made me want to pursue design haha
Hey there ! I initially had subscribed to your channel - an year ago, I guess - but unsubscribed because it was all looking a little to minimalism preaching kind. But, you seemed to have changed your narrative, so thanks for coming back. I’m sincerely sorry if I’m sounding rude, apologies. Awesome video, keep it up
Hello Daniel, really you're such an inspiration for me. I'm starting a new channel soon. And I'm still lack on my script while I'm so impressed with yours. Short and full of info. Would please make a video how you script?
Appreciated this video. Got me thinking which is always fun: Are Apple innovators or do they simply take recent technologies and do them better than those first to market? The sleek aluminium design of your old MacBook Pro arguably has an enduring timeless aesthetic. The same can not be said for the models that came after with poor keyboards and no SD slot. The endless cycle of obsolescence and upgrades of phones and most electronic devices is also hardly sustainable. Our old landline lasted decades. Will they ever build a smart phone or smart watch to last? Although some of the dumb phones, for those who want to escape social media, may be built to last. Finally, perhaps the essence of good design is functionality, durability, and being aesthetically pleasing. With some of the other principles being derivatives of these. Thanks DT.
Love this video, but the thin bar on the bottom is distracting, and to another viewer I was watching it with, stressful. It doesn’t seem to add useful value. It’s fine for ad segments (see Alex, the French engineer/home cook), but for segments we want to watch, being constantly reminded of how much time is left removes focus from the video.
Excellent video thankyou, your macbook looks in peak condition for an item about seven years old you must have really taken xare of it, and i take my hat ofc to ypu keeping it and not renewing , an item tried and tested, i still have nnot owned one as yet but do have a smartphone , i see new ones but whats the poing mine still serves me wrell!
I was with you until principle 7. Minimalism is the new trend. Go back a decade it was something else and so on and so on. Maybe it's because you are fully emersed in one that you don't think you are in one. But it wouldn't really take me 5 minutes to find 5 other videos saying something along the lines of less is more in a muted color home.
“Good design is honest “ totally the opposite of 1950-60s Cadillacs that tried to be jets….as opposed to a 1960s Mercedes’, which is basically the same the design…and now Cadillac is trying to copy them
Apple is not as innovative as most people think. What Apple is very good at is taking products pioneered by other companies, like MP3 players or smartphones, then refining these and mainstreaming them.
While I love the design of Apple products I find that the most recent units, both Mac and iPhone, dependability is questionable. My M1 Mac Mini died after owning it for only 4 months, which forced me to go out and purchase a PC, since Apple couldn't get me into a store for a 'Genius' appointment for over a week and a replacement. My iPhone 12 mini also had trouble connecting to Bluetooth and Apple Play in my car. Apple sent me in for a replacement, which I was denied one after consulting with Tech Support 4 times. I was advised that the iPhone wasn't the problem and that my new car, my Apple watch and my wireless ear buds were all to blame over the iPhone. Needless to say, I no longer own any Apple products as they have become the sure sign of bargain basement reliability even though their products exterior design looks flawless. I miss the old Apple products that were once dependable and worth the money.
1:04 So Apple didn’t innovate on its design but just adapted and perfected what came before? 2:07 I disagree with this part, a product may be slightly less effective than a pure efficiency version at whatever task it was designed for, but if it still looks good that doesn’t make it bad design. After all, a concrete rectangular prism that is well insulated is much better at housing someone in a cold area than a beautifully designed log cabin.
These are all great principles BUT there are other alternatives to minimalism than 'a sea of clutter'. And simplicity is always welcome, but behind the neat form of your iPhone is a vast and complicated system of techie clutter somewhere necessary for it to work at all. Not very honest, actually.
"So If something.... doesn't solve a problem or improve a solution, you could say that there isn't much reason for it existing." If people are the same way, then perhaps the purpose of existing is to innovative? Dude WT🤯
It's a shame Apple is abandoning these principles with their latest computers. For a well-designed device to be long-lasting and environmentally friendly it should be repairable. Apple's obsession with thinness has resulted in a new generation of computers that will need entire logic board replacements (expensive financially and environmentally) for what would have previously been a simple repair that many users could have done themselves.
Never heard of these principles before, very interesting. Principles 1 and 7 seem to be at odds with each other a little. I'd say that the success of the iPod was less to do with the design of it and more to do with how easy it made it to manage a music library and to buy music. The same for the smartphone; it's the applications that make the smartphone a must-have, not its design. I agree with you that removing things like sd card slots from laptops makes them less useful and so is a bad design choice.
An example of an often overlooked, but _perfect_ design:
The paperclip.
It's only perfect until a strong wind comes
The crisps bags filled half way are actually good design. If they were fully filled, the crisps would all crack while in shipping or in handling.
Yeah, this youtuber is ignorant. Instantly closed the video after that nonsense. Can't believe coursera linked this.
Fantastic video! Great content, music, shots, pacing... very well-made.

same, also found it distracting, as if the video wants me to stop it
I thought it was very clever too. Though once I noticed it, it started distracting me also - not visually, but just in knowing it's there. I know time management is important on this channel but I enjoy getting lost in a video sometimes - which is easy to do on Titch's channel 🙂
I think its useful in corporate presentation videos, where audience cant skip a chapter but would be interested to see when is the next one coming…
"Any beauty from its design is derived from its utility." Beautifully put Daniel
Great video. I absolutely love the thin line at the bottom of each chapter. What a clever example of good design.
Always a big fan of Dieter Rams' work, great to see your take on his 10 commandments!👍
Ayyyy, thanks CK! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼
Love seeing you two!
Man the effort and detail-oriented focus here in this video is outstanding! I really believe it's your best one so far!
those principles seem so obvious that it is very strange that so few companies make products that follow even half of them
I loved the way you've placed the timer at the bottom for every timestamp and that goes perfectly well with what you say at 4:19.
Loved the video! Regarding the “half full bag of chips” i think it’s done this way to work as an airbag to protect the chips from breaking! Not sure it is true but make sense tho. Keep up with the amazing work :)

your video was designed based on Dieter Rams's rules too! :))
I really enjoyed watching it.

Really good video
I can't agree more with the reference to the macbook pro.
Hey man, Coursera features you.
You have a new sub now.😉
Would you consider the Tesla Cybertruck good design?
Hello Daniel, really you're such an inspiration for me. I'm starting a new channel soon. And I'm still lack on my script while I'm so impressed with yours. Short and full of info. Would please make a video how you script?
Will really appreciate if you can help me doing so. A Lil subscriber from Malaysia. 🇲🇾

Pyramid of Giza is the first thing comes to my mind when someone says good design.
Watching this on my 2014 MacBook Pro... Ahhh I love the device but recently it got a very big and bad dent.
Daniel got a new phone :) lovely video
do you have a recommendation for a good hot water flask?

Good design, dare i say
Man those Gore-Tex Nikes shoes are sold out 🥲 Yes

Apple's obsession with thinness has resulted in a new generation of computers that will need entire logic board replacements (expensive financially and environmentally) for what would have previously been a simple repair that many users could have done themselves.
Terrible app design is randomly/aggressively asking users to rate the app, disrupting their experience quite rudely.
