Consider the stylish automobile that's a deathtrap in a crash;
the typography that strains your eyes; the software with cute
icons that's hard to use; the slick Website that takes forever to
load and tells you nothing. If it isn't easy to build, use,
maintain and evolve, if it doesn't respond to all human
requirements without doing more harm than good, the system
doesn't work.
Just as good form fits its context, a well-designed system
responds to its total environment. It's not about style and
cosmetics. It's about interfaces that work — an
aesthetic grounded in humanizing functionality. That's the
design philosophy behind our slogan
"The system is the interface".
