The Laws of Simplicity
I just completed “The Laws of Simplicity” by John Maeda. John is MIT Professor and the founder of the Simplicity Consortium at MIT Media Lab.
LOS is a beautiful 100 page book where John lays down the 10 laws and explains the different designs and products in todays world use them, knowingly or by chance. John has been called the “Master of Simplicity” for understanding the importance of simplicity in our daily lives and working towards bringing corporations and designers imbibe it in their products. I strongly recommend it to everyone, irrespective of your domain and expertise.
My favourite quote from the book: “Simplicity is about removing the obvious, and adding the meaninful.
