Occam’s Razor (*zing*)

Heute Morgen beim rasieren, bin ich über diesen interessanten Beitrag gestolpert: Occam’s Razor: A Great Principle for Designers.

Designing simply for the web is about removing barriers. If a user wouldn’t know where to click, tell them. If there are too many navigational choices, eliminate some. If the background image distracts from the message, tone it down. In architecture, a cool design should not compromise the strength of the structure or make it difficult to get from point A to point B. Similarly, a cool web design shouldn’t compromise the clarity of the message you are trying to convey or make it difficult for the user to navigate from page A to page B.

Ein wirklich toller Montags-Artikel.
