A simple example of “less is best” that came to my mind is the PowerPoint of presentations; we put a lot of words on the slight but then get confused ourselves. So letting it simple, with few words is better, nicer and more elegant, it will let us express ourselves better. Putting just one picture can take the attention and make it more attractive, seductive. It makes people listen the story, listen to you. Engaging a listeners / readers curiosity to seek more is exactly what elegance is all about.
I believe that to discover elegance is to discover freedom to be creative, rather than simply productive. The author explains how to stimulate curiosity and improve customer satisfaction by leaving things out of products and advertisements. He perfectly explains the power of the missing piece and how simplicity is not only effective, but profitable as well.
Generally, the best solution is to subtract any unessential components to the problem. Reducing a problem to its very essence leads to a powerful human need to fill in the details in a very personal way, the one that seem nice to the human eye and brain as well. Sometimes in business, instead of developing products that are easier to use, and processes that are easier to understand, the opposite occurs. Products get more unneeded and difficult to use, processes become more complicated and fill voluminous manuals, and unfortunately the end results are lower sales and decreased productivity…
I totally agree.

A very thought-provoking sentence you have written here. It is 'I believe that to discover elegance is to discover freedom to be creative'. It is more useful than all the book itself. I guess the question is about borders of that freedom.
YanıtlaSilErisa you speak about simplicity and act differently in your summary. I understand that women are more complicated that men but this does not give them the right to act like they want.
YanıtlaSilThe resume is god but a little bit tricky.
Good job.......
everybody of us follow his own way in pursuit of elegance, but if your way share the same way of the other than you have the real elegance.
YanıtlaSilI agree with you. Bu also I claim that simple is elegant as simple is also difficult. By nature all the people tend to try make things more complicated that they are.I mean to be simple and natural we need to spent also a lot of effort...
