"Contrast is what makes beauty."

Make things work faster. The quicker something gets done, the easier it feels to use. Look for ways to reduce waiting time or unnecessary steps.

Time: Faster is Simpler

Look at your design in the bigger picture. The space around something can make it feel more simple or complicated. Use this to make your design easier to use.

Context: Consider the Environment

Simplicity doesn’t just mean looks – it means feeling. Add a personal touch that resonates with your audience. Simple designs can still create powerful emotional connections.

Emotion: Connect with Your Audience

Some things can’t be simplified, and that’s okay. Recognize what’s important and focus on simplifying those parts. Don’t waste energy on things that don’t matter as much.

Failure: Accept That Not Everything Can Be Simple

Group similar items together. Think of it like putting things in the right drawer. Organizing helps everything look simpler and more approachable.

Organize: Keep Things Clear

Don’t be afraid to make important things stand out. A simple background with bold highlights makes key features more noticeable and easy to find.

Differences: Use Contrast to Stand Out

Cut out anything unnecessary. Focus on the essential things and remove the clutter. If something isn’t important, it doesn’t belong.

1. Reduce: Less is More

Simplicity comes from clarity. Help people learn quickly by using easy-to-understand language and familiar tools. The easier it is to grasp, the simpler it feels.

Learn: Make it Easy to Understand

Identify the core goal of your project. Get rid of anything that distracts from that purpose and focus only on what really matters to your audience.

The One: Focus on What Matters

Build trust by being predictable. People like things they can count on. Keep your design simple and reliable so users feel safe and comfortable.

Trust: Keep it Consistent

Simplify Your Life and Work with These Game-Changing Tips!

Ten laws of simplicity for business, technology, and design that teach us how to need less but get more.Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We're rebelling against technology that's too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte "read me" manuals. The iPod's clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that's simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In The Laws of Simplicity, John Maeda offers ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design—guidelines for needing less and actually getting more.Maeda—a professor in MIT's Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer—explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of "improved" so that it doesn't always mean something more, something added on.Maeda's first law of simplicity is "Reduce." It's not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. And the features that we do have must be organized (Law 2) in a sensible hierarchy so users aren't distracted by features and functions they don't need. But simplicity is not less just for the sake of less. Skip ahead to Law 9: "Failure: Accept the fact that some things can never be made simple." Maeda's concise guide to simplicity in the digital age shows us how this idea can be a cornerstone of organizations and their products—how it can drive both business and technology. We can learn to simplify without sacrificing comfort and meaning, and we can achieve the balance described in Law 10. This law, which Maeda calls "The One," tells us: "Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful."
