DAO OF DESIGN

Through his philosophies, Bruce has given us essential principals for approaching any design task. Learn well, young grashopper.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless… like water.

– BRUCE SAYS –

Now, you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, my friend.

Be Adaptive
– BE ADAPTIVE –

The amount of devices and screen sizes continues to increase, so it is ever more important to tailor user experiences for those through adaptive or responsive design techniques.

– BRUCE SAYS –

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Keep it Simple
– K.I.S.S. –

Keep it simple, stupid!. The K.I.S.S. principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex.

– BRUCE SAYS –

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

Stay Agile
– STAYING AGILE –

Quick delivery of a working product. Interactions above processes. Collaboration above negotiation. Feedback. Simplicity.

– BRUCE SAYS –

Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.

Test Early
– TEST EARLY, TEST OFTEN –

Usability tests often provide crucial insights into significant problems and issues related to a given UI or user flow.

– BRUCE SAYS –

You've come to the end of the path, but not the end of your journey. Go forth with this knowledge and practice these principals.
