  1. The Laws of Simplicity

    The laws of simplicity made by John Maeda from MIT, they are not only tips for creating a good graphical user interface design, they are generic design patterns found to make the complicated simple, these are the ones that I like:

    * Reduce: The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.

    * Organize: Organization makes a system of many appear fewer.

    * Time: Savings in time feel like simplicity.

    * Learn: Knowledge makes everything simpler.

    * Differences: Simplicity and complexity need each other.

    * Context: What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.

    * Failure: Some things can never be made simple.

    * The One: Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
