This post from Seth Godin about “Designed, Designy or Well-designed” caught my eye. My perspective is that the primary purpose of a “designy” solution is novelty. “Look at this interesting and fashionable thing.” A well-designed object’s primary purpose is to solve a problem or make something better - with beauty and context being considered as part of that solution. Doubtless, there are some designs out there that fulfill both definitions of “designy” and well-designed. 📐
