Reading laws of simplicity – The One

1. What does Maeda call the 3 keys?
Away – more appears like less by simply moving it far, far away.
Things appear more simple when they are moved far away. Google searching, all you have to do is type something in to a small text box and the computers database does all the mathematics for you and finds what you are looking for.
Open – openness simplifies complexity.
With an open system, the power of many can outweigh the power of few.
Power – use less, gain more.
You less energy and use it wisely. More can get done than when the power is fully charged and freely available.
2. Describe how you have used these in your work towards UPHERE? Give at least one example of each key.
Away- working from home and then brings it into uni.
Open- being open with m design and trusting in what I do.
Power- doing 1 thing and nailing it within the timeframe we have. Therefore the end product will be appreciated.
3. Describe an incident in the production of UPHERE where technology has been an enabler…. and another where it has been a disabler!
The making of all the flyers, posters etc, was easy to do with the help of the computers, also using the camera to take the photos and receiving emails from sponsors and teachers. The technology has been a very big help to the exhibition although sometimes technology isn’t the best way for curtain things. Sometimes emails get lost so it’s best to talk in person to others. Some works of art turn out better when drawn. People like to see models and sculptures instead of things on the computers.
4. At this stage in the exhibition process you are all working on some element or process for the big event. List 3 things (in your current project) that you could take away to simplify and one thing you could add for meaning.
Take away
Dont really want to take away anything from my artwork. i would take away complications.
Add
i would add heaps of fun!!

My conclusion on the book
i found the book very interesting and i think it has helped me with my designs and the way i do things.
