Asking what is a good design is very arbitrary. Not everyone has the same eye for design and art like the next person. My brother for one likes art that actually makes something he can comprehend like a portrait of a girl or a landscape of an obvious landmark, but dislikes abstract art of colors and lines leading to nowhere. To him that's what makes design bad and art too easy and subjective that 'art' is just a broad word of nothingness and expensive decor to cover a blank wall that is too bare.
For me, I like art that makes me want to be in the moment and feel something. I focus on the aesthetic on the colors chosen and how it overall changes the whole entire product. I also think about the main goal the person is trying to get across. Like Glenn North's Urku Collection I saw in the Leedy earlier this year,
Glenn took a stand against all the police brutality and how black bodies are used as target practice by essentially anyone and how it's become the norm and makes the horizon has North put it.
Design has always been innovative changing the way we think about the world around and sometimes how we use the world, and it doesn't always have to be aesthetically pleasing. Design isn't limited to art but extends its hand to engineering and science. We need a strong design and foundation to keep bridges from collapsing and potentially killing people. We need a strong design to find cures for diseases and virus and why we need quantum physics to figure out the universe.
I'm not trying to say that art is all around us and that the world is just made of good design, because it's not always. I'm saying that design and art and its appeal to the world is subjective but when we step out of comfort zones and make things more practical and useful for the people, it becomes universally known as good art and design.
