Title: Pretentious
Product review: The book is old and pretentious. It describes Design as it was some sort of a religion (with Roweena as its prophet), that a Designer needs to stick to some basic rules, in order to generate a beautiful product.It doesn't really take the engineering part into consideration. For example, that a functional product kept very simple is usually beautiful.Also it hardly has any examples and some of the few are about 30 to 40 years old and not really convincing either.Maybe this book explains why most cars from the 70ties are somewhat unsightly.And last but not least the letters are pretty small, a pain to read.
