The document provides tips for simplifying user experience (UX) design, recommending that designers be iterative, let go of backwards compatibility, relate designs to the real world but avoid overdoing skeuomorphism, narrow the target user base to avoid over-complicating designs, accept that simplicity and flexibility require tradeoffs, try new design experiences to encourage creativity, take a stance to avoid mediocre designs that try to please everyone, minimize clutter by questioning whether each element is truly needed, and recognize that UX goes beyond surface-level aesthetics to encompass meaningful expression.

1. Simplifying UX

@refreshcolombo

2. be iterative
{Don’t expect to get it right, right away}

3. let go of the past
{Don’t let backwards compatibility stop you}

4. relate to real world
{Skeuomorphism helps. Just don’t over do it!}

5. narrow (your) user base
{Trying to appeal to everyone complicates it}

6. simplicity vs flexibility
{You can’t have both. It’s a tradeoff!}

7. try new things
{More experiences = More creativity}

8. take a stance
{Trying to make everyone happy results in a mediocre design}

9. minimize clutter
{Always ask “is there a compelling reason for it?” }

10. UX is skin deep!
{It’s not just about look & feel. It’s about expression}

11. thank you
