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."

這是一本講思維的書,簡約不簡單。 書中介紹的十條法則,每一條都值得細細品味,在日常的設計中去實踐。 法則1,減少,要做到用心割捨,突齣核心價值,隱藏多餘的東西,讓一些不起眼的東西成為意外驚喜。 法則2,組織,讓係統顯得更簡單的方式,SLIP:分類(Sort)、標示(Label)...
評分 評分沒記錯的的話這本書花瞭我20左右,薄薄的書到手的那一刻真心覺得坑爹。 本書頁數直接體現齣本書的中心思想——簡單。但是在這個報告拼字數,總結拼頁數的年代,簡單似乎不再那麼受歡迎。受夠瞭各種報告總結會議的摺磨後,我極度偏嚮簡潔易懂的風格(盡管架不住領導一句:材料頁...

評分10條簡單的法則,分彆是: 1、減少(REDUCE):達到簡單的最簡單方法,就是用心割捨。 2、組織(ORGANIZE):妥善組織能使復雜的係統顯得比較簡單。 3、時間(TIME):節省時間會讓人感覺簡單。 4、學習(LEARN):知識使...

評分頭三章還行,後麵的就有些多餘瞭。用大量親身經曆感覺確實令人嚮往但不能作為經典流傳。亮點在於字體和版式設計,可供畢業論文參考!
