Minimalist Design

[nemorathwald]

I just think these designs look better. It's my design philosophy. These are items you pick up and handle and use. They should not look like they belong on the wall in a frame. They should not depict. They should do and be.

But then I would get questioned for why I was hired as a designer if I was going to do so little. You have to make the design worse with lots of ornamentation to justify your pay. This is one of the reasons I would rather work on usability and legibility than design.

Also: What if Microsoft designed the iPod packaging? (SLYT)

I like the Mr. Muscle on either end; the middle one looks terrible.

The condom box shouldn't look like an iPod.
The minimalist corn flakes and Nestle Quik just look cheap.
The Nutella looks good.
The Pringles look good, but maybe confusing.
