Laws of Simplicity

Category: Art, Resources, Web, Writingrob @ 8:59 pm

We speak here of writing, film and other media, but I’ve been taking a look at a blog that speaks about design. Design tends to sit about and when its good - we hardly notice it, when its great - we go “Way Cool”, and when its bad we tend to gripe. Yet despite the impact it has on us - how much do we actually think about design?

If you’re creative then design is important, it affects how people interact with your work and how they actually find your work. Design is something that is important.

So take some time to stop and think about design once in a while and use it check your own actions and creations.

Of course sitting and thinking isn’t as good as understanding - hence the Laws of Simplicity. This is an excellent blog and is a recommendable read. However once you start you realise that the latest entry is a little bit in the past. Fortunately this is more - once you’re done with the original Laws of Simplicity website move on to http://our.risd.edu/ This is where the story continues. RISD by the way is the Rhode Island School of Design - and the blog lives up to the name.

So next time you need a quick snippet of good reading and design go here.
