SIMPLICITYDivine
“Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication”

COMPLEXITY
Something with many parts in an intricate arrangement

Complication

design

featuritis is the ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a
product…beyond the basic function of the product…can result in over-
complication
The engineers’ favorite feature
The UX’ers favorite feature
The marketing’s favorite feature
The Project Managers’ favorite feature
The customers’ favorite feature
The application engineer's favorite feature
The service's favorite feature
Edge use cases (what if…)
The competitors did it…

Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and
adding the meaningful – J. Maeda
“Things should be as
simple as possible, but
no simpler”
Albert Einstein
Remove
Choose a
core, based
on users
needs
Reduce the
amount of
elements
Prioritize the
chosen
features
Focus from
the
projects’
beginning

Organize
Components by
Size, Type, Color, Form, La
bels & text
Layout by
Similarity, Proximity, Closure,
Continuity, White
Space, Hierarchy, Grid, orient
ation
20
Organize
Size = Most important/Frequent/Critical
21
Organize
Organization makes a system of many appear fewer -

Hide & Place elsewhere
Complexity is still there.
Hide it from view, or shift it to another platform

Shorten
Less is more

Shorter time, shorter text, shorter document
Dogma
“No more than one button!”

Simplicity

Editor's Notes

  1. Simplicity can be divine. When done right.When done right, you will find people using your product as if it were an extension of themselves.They will be focused on what they can do with it, rather than on how to operate it.You will find people understanding the main messages of your presentation or document, rather than drifting away.When done right, simplicity is elegant, exciting and positive. Powerful.zen.
  2. Simplicity can be divine. When done right.When done right, you will find people using your product as if it were an extension of themselves.They will be focused on what they can do with it, rather than on how to operate it.You will find people understanding the main messages of your presentation or document, rather than drifting away.When done right, simplicity is elegant, exciting and positive. Powerful.zen.
  3. But it is not easy to achieve. It requires effort, dedication and sophistication.It gets worse.Once you have achieved simplicity, if you’ve done it right, it can be under appreciated. People seem to think the solution was obvious due to its simplicity. Effortless requires a lot of effort.
  4. This guy branded his products by simplicity. He did pretty well.Notice the borrowed motto…
  5. Within this sentence lay the 2 causes of complexity: many parts and the arrangement of the parts.Complexity. It has its pluses – but for today lets just call it evil. It’s simpler.
  6. Complexity happens.No one intends to create complex systems or documents unless they are lawyers.No one says lets make this thing as complex as possible so nobody can understand it, read it, or use it.
  7. The first enemy of simplicity is sheer amount. Amount of features.If you are writing a presentation it’s the amount of contents you feel you need to include in the presentation. Same for e-mail.All people guilty of featuritis please smile now…
  8. Amount of hardware pieces, input devices, buttons, controls, cables. Many times happen due to constraints of time and resources.No time to invest in designing it better. We are already concentrating on other features.In the long run of course, this costs more to everyone.2007
  9. Amount of UI elements, colors, sizes, fonts, text, animations
  10. The second enemy of simplicity is how we put all the components together. Dependencies, conditions, order create one big mess.We can tell it is a mess because it is impossible to change. Each small change is linked to so many other things it becomes a nightmare.The type of components we use when we code - Components that we don’t understand (black boxes), that are dependant on each other, loops,
  11. What does it mean? No simpler? It means that we have to explore and find out the essence
  12. Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful Maeda thoughtful reductionWhat is the main problem you would like to solve, base it on user needs & current frustrations – think of several ways to solve it.Design for the mainstream. Remove what can’t be implemented properly.The question that needs to be asked is “Why should we keep this”Thoughtful reduction, remove optionsSacrifice features that are used by only a small percentage of your customers or that you cannot implement properly
  13. Today!
  14. Advertising learned the lesson pretty quickly"אחד היסודות ליצירת פרסום אפקטיבי הוא היכולת לתמצת מסרים בדרך כזו, שתקל על הצרכן לקלוט ולהבין אותם. ..פרסום טוב מבוסס על מסר ברור וחד" אחוז השטח שתופסת הדמות/דמויות בפרסומת בכל עשור 1920 – 56% 1990 – 99%מספר הדמויות בכל עשור 1920 – 6 1990 – 1הכותרות נעלמו לחלוטין, אחוז הטקסט ירד מ – 38% ל – 13% משטח המודעה
  15. Once the content of the components is clearwe can use several basic laws of organization to tell the user more about the relationship between the components.Every detail about our components bears meaning: the form, the size, the color, its placement, it’s relation to other components.If we use these attributes to convey relevant meaning – we directly affect the person’s understanding of the system.
  16. Create hierarchy. Not everything is of equal importance. Show the person where to focus.
  17. Organization makes a system of many appear fewer - MaedaOur mind is trained to better understand details when we give the meaning as a group.
