Simplicity

I always talk about simple, clean and effective design with not only my colleagues but also with my prospective clients and other people from the design community. So it was not surprising that I thought of writing a blog on simplicity in design. But then, I felt instead of writing the same stuff again in my own way …why not share what other people have to say about simplicity. Simple ..isnt it?

“Graphical elegance is often found in simplicity of design and complexity of data.”

“The best graphics are about the useful and important, about life and death, about the universe. Beautiful graphics do not traffic with the trivial.”

Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.
– Charles Mingus

Simplicity is the soul of efficiency.
-- Austin Freeman, "The Eye of Osiris"

...it is simplicity that is difficult to make.
-- Bertholdt Brecht

Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

If we complicate things they get less simple.
-- Professor at Cambridge University

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Just a Thought. " Life is Very Simple. We humans make it Complicated. "
