I have this guy looking over my shoulder at work, most often very disappointed and disapproving of my work. His ten ‘principles’ are affixed just below.

Goddammit. This thread is missing a couple of obvious ones. Putting out a bounty for:
Behar
Dyson
Musk (he’d call himself a designer)
Loewy
Ivy Ross, Matias Duarte, or anyone else with the title “Google Design Leader”

Zaha.
Yves Behar does a good job avoiding the pose! This is the closest he got
