+====== A collection of Rules for and from Design Practice ======
+The following rules are a collection of statements that I worshipped over the years. Sometimes pretty challenging but I strongly believe in those:
+  - Just talking is not enough
+  - Learning through visualisation, hands-on experimentalism, and creating quick prototypes
+  - Be integer
+  - Have a spirit of goodness
+  - Make a plan…
+  - Stay focus on topic
+  - Follow the Vitruvian Virtues ([[:utilitas_venustas_firmitas|Utilitas, Venustas, Firmitas]])…
+  - …and [[https://www.vitsoe.com/us/about/good-design|Dieter Rams 10 principles for good design]]
+  - Tell visual Stories (//Felix's PPiPP principle ⇒ Put Pictures into your <del>Power Point</del>  Presentation//)
+  - Work interdisciplinary
+  - Be ready to say no
+  - Stay open-minded
+  - Make your workspace a Living Art Memoria (as a technique of remembering)
+  - Structure your data
+  - [[:file_naming_convention|Name your files]]
+  - Back-up
+  - Practice design – not decoration
+  - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_No_Asshole_Rule|The No Asshole Rule]] (see also picture below)
