So I've been reading his biography, and a quote that really struck me was "simplicity is the highest form of complexity." I've been thinking about this over and over, and trying to apply it to my blog's design.

So I"m just curious. Do you guys think that a simple, sleek looking design is the best?

Apple products prove that a well designed product is simple.

I think so but I like the clean look. Your blog looks a lot better since your last change.

I think it works well for people…but don't ask me, I have a Las Vegas approach to design- lots of color and flashy cluttered design..haha… I think it looks good though to be simple!

Simple is a great way to go, but you still want to make it appealing to look at…it's cool holding an iPhone, but my Samsung is just as simple and definitely not as cool.

 

I know you were looking for tips earlier on your blog. Here's what I think now:

  • Change the font - match the modern look you are going for
  • Increase the size of the font – use the Yakezie font size as a guide, anything smaller makes it hard to look at
  • Create visual interest – pictures, videos, etc – Apple products were always cool to look at

What do you think?
