@Noel: Well said, simple is hard. This is true in every field and skill. The real masters make things look simple and effort-less but behind the streamlines simple elegance is a gaggle of talent and experience.

When will we learn that nothing comes easy – even if it looks easy!

Thanks for the reminders Matthew.

Hi Mathew,

Great article and oooh so true! A great designer is someone who lets the message (read: content) come out. The message should be readible and clear (in combination with some pictures/images to support the message). Nothing more, nothing less!

In my opinion Design can be defined conform the KISS-theory: Keep It Stupid and Simple, that’s what ‘minimalism’ is all about!

Everybody can stuff a site-layout with difficult navigation, no overview, distracting flash or GIF’s animation, etc.

Cheers & Ciao …
