And when the vision is not clear, the design takes a complex shape, where its hard to understand for evryone, including the designer.Sandipannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921502487222266513.post-47943240622498192632010-01-08T13:59:33.297+05:302010-01-08T13:59:33.297+05:30Submitted on 2008/07/30 at 12:44pm<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your view Hannah!Taruna Goelhttp://tarunagoel.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921502487222266513.post-90110029649519333962010-01-08T13:59:12.947+05:302010-01-08T13:59:12.947+05:30Submitted on 2008/07/30 at 10:49am<br /><br />Can’t agree more with your final bulleted list of the essence of simplicity. Certainly, simplicity wins hands down in any situation. However, making complex ideas simple requires a lot of hardwork and thinking, which incidentally is very hard to come across:-)<br /><br />Enjoyed your writeup.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921502487222266513.post-92129422287749942242010-01-08T13:58:52.510+05:302010-01-08T13:58:52.510+05:30Submitted on 2008/07/25 at 9:43am<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Saumi! Couldn’t agree with you more. Infact, the teachings of Zen highlight that to move towards simple living - we should try to do ‘less’ in a day! Taking that thought to our designs, the courses and interfaces that we make, may be need to start looking at doing less and generating the same or even more impact!Taruna Goelhttp://tarunagoel.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921502487222266513.post-76766732531301842982010-01-08T13:58:26.740+05:302010-01-08T13:58:26.740+05:30Submitted on 2008/07/24 at 7:38pm<br /><br />I think simplicity is a life style necessity in our times.<br /><br />In the media-intensive world of today, we are bombarded with informations that we may or may not need. It takes a considerable bandwidth for us to weed through the clutter to get to the crux. That leaves us with very little bandwidth to explore what we are really looking for or seeking.<br /><br />If we want any kind of messaging to be effective, then we have to facilitate ease of availability, use, and understanding for our audience. And that is where a SIMPLE design plays a big role.<br /><br />That’s my two cents on simplicity — a lifestyle need in our times.Sauminoreply@blogger.com
