Dieter Rams' Ten Principles for Good Design is a seminal work and should legally be required in every bookshelf — and, of course, be read and studied.

From the 60s to the 80s, Dieter Rams was responsible for creating an array of product design icons, which still rank among the finest in industrial design and are continually replicated. To what extent his work has influenced the following projects is probably a bit challenging to ascertain today. However, it is undeniable that what James Ball aka @Docubyte has compiled here is simply gorgeous.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so decide for yourself:

Guide to Computing is a collection of the most epoch-making machines of the last 75 years. James has photographed these and then significantly enhanced their appearance through digital retouching.

What's left is pure eye candy. 🍭 Enjoy!
