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 –
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.
– 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.
– 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 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.
