Note: Here are some examples of design principles from the websites below that may be helpful in guiding your discussions.

Devices should follow a consistent rule.
When simple things have signs, it is usually evidence that they are not well designed.
Things that need to be distinguished from each other should differ by more than just a single feature.
The shape of an object should reveal how it is to be used.
A device should be designed so that it will not be confused with devices that operate under different operating principles. (E.g. Watch out, Sports Illustrated Football Phone.)
Make sure your design provides displays of everything a person needs to see.
When you design a device, take the viewpoint of the user.
