For a wonderful and amazing treatise on good design principles for architecture and civil engineering, see Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language" avaliable at any full-service bookstall. Bad examples of industrial design include: a) most American cars' dashboards and controls b) 90% of the wine cork pullers c) the IBM PC jr keyboard d) hand-held "food processors" (actual name escapes me) e) An incredible number of lamps and lights f) the list goes on... -Peter Marvit HP Labs (marvit@hplabs.hp.com)
