POR FIN.
No voy a valorarlo, no es lo que yo esperaba sino algo mucho más... no puedo decir académico pero algo así.
Esperaba más ejemplos y menos acrónimos.

Clear and simple, it really helped me to think more pragmatically and in a easier way, in work environment and in everyday life.
Should be a textbook to be used in every school!!!

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful."
Un petit livre très intéressant brossant quelques règles extrêmement bienvenues tant sur le sujet du design que de façon plus large dans la vie. Salvateur aussi pour le design en entreprise où tout en chacun est plus enclin à rajouter des fonctionnalités plutôt qu'à en supprimer et aller vers l'essentiel. Une bonne bouffée d'air frais.

I found this book oddly annoying. It’s quite small and I think I was hoping for something neater and more meditative. I found it conceptually quite cluttered, more in tune with a business audience than artists. A lot of it speaks to product design, I guess I was hoping for something about thinking, or art, or creativity. Hope leads to disappointment, I suppose. I’d love to see Maeda come back to this book and rewrite it, to see what he thinks now.
A lot of thoughts on simplicity, some of it directly applicable to product design. A little too academic for my taste, but luckily it’s short (100 pages), in accordance to his own principles.
Had some interesting points on simplicity. I enjoyed the writers writing style more than the actual content though.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to be or considers themselves minimalist in any area of their life. I also recommend it to anyone who is making something for a consumer of some kind, whether that's a product, a piece of writing, an experience, etc. It's a short book that doesn't do any of the work for you, but if you're willing to put in some deep thought about what you're making or doing in the world and how to edit it to be better, then this book is for you.
Maeda’s book is part instructional, part conceptual, and part anecdotal. In essence, it is 10 laws that, if followed, will create excellent design. Design that feels effortless to engage with, but is still beautiful and meaningful. Some of the anecdotes are a bit dated since it was written over 10 years ago and a lot of the examples are about technology. But the laws themselves do seem to hold true as laws.
However, the laws in the book are just that, laws. They are general guidelines or truths that can be applied in an infinite amount of ways depending on the context. In fact one of the laws of simplicity IS the law of context. The words in this book are broad strokes that can be applied to almost anything; but they will likely only hold truth and instruction in their application.
