John Maeda's The Laws of Simplicity

  1. LAW 1: REDUCE: The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
  2. LAW 2: ORGANIZE: Organisation makes a system of many appear fewer.
  3. LAW 3: TIME: Savings in time feel like simplicity.
  4. LAW 4: LEARN: Knowledge makes everything simpler.
  5. LAW 5: DIFFERENCES: Simplicity and complexity need each other.
  6. LAW 6: CONTEXT: What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.
  7. LAW 7: EMOTION: More emotions are better than less.
  8. LAW 8: TRUST: In simplicity we trust.
  9. LAW 9: FAILURE: Some things can never be made simple.
  10. LAW 10: THE ONE: Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.
