The Laws of Simplicity

Maeda’s ten laws are a compass for cutting through noise. In a world that generates complexity, this book argues for restraint, clarity, and elegance. Designers will appreciate its emphasis on designing what matters, not everything that’s possible. While short, it offers lasting ideas on minimalism, trade-offs, and meaningful reduction. Use it as a lens to assess your work—and as a reminder that good design often means removing, not adding.
