Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We're rebelling against technology that's too complicated, against 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 guidelines, ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design--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."

##簡單盡，復雜現，反之亦然。
評分##Insightful，語言精練有趣，跟有些書“跟你說我講的都是對的”高下立見。
評分##條理清晰，排版舒服。21歲的生日禮物26歲瞭纔讀，這也導緻很多當時比較新的減法概念現在對設計師來說就是常識。怎麼再嚮前想一步呢？
評分看前十頁和後十頁就夠瞭。作者名頭很大，寫得卻很囉嗦，既不是工具書又不是經典理論，倒像是設計界的雞湯。我最煩的寫作風格之一。
評分##大贊之，關於 dots / simplicity 的 design ideas（此外，Maeda 在 TED 的 talks 也很不錯）。
評分##quickly done reading. get the general idea of it by reading carefully the table of contents and glance over all the books.Read it in a simply but highly efficiently way
