Simplicity over Complexity (or How things are getting Simpler) – The Series – Evidence #1 .
Thursday, November 13, 2008 20:36Complex looking interfaces tend to look great. Take any 3D Modeling application as an example – a lot of buttons and features always look hightech…
…but the truth is: Newer interfaces tend to have fewer buttons, and a cleaner look.
I tried to prove this tendency with an evidence series starting with this post.
Here is evidence number 1:
Most may think about this like comparing a swiss knife with a fork. Remember, discussion is open if you want.
I think one of the biggest reasons why interfaces are getting simpler and cleaner is that most of the complexity is now kept inside the system, not in the user. Now, computers can handle and evaluate complex scenarios which brings to full-automation a lot of previously man-centered actions.
Thanks for following,
See you on Evidence #2
