John Madea and Simplicity

The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life) The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda


I loved this book and the concise presentation of powerful ideas. He has collected the principles to drive toward simplicity and makes the case for the power behind simplicity. This can be applied in so many circumstances.

Madea’s background coming from both computer science and design is especially intriguing to me. As I sit on the technical side of things I am often fascinated by the design world. The more I learn and observe I see many corollaries between the two worlds. I was able to see the application of the principles in this book both to design as well as the technical world.
