William Lidwell, co-author of the book Universal Principles of Design, presents a set of design heuristics drawn from across disciplines. HN also posted it under the title "Becoming Leonardo: How Great Designers Think".

HN people pair it with praise for his book, as an interesting short course in general design principles.
