Mandy Brown. What a word for good design: weightless. It’s true for UI too. There’s a moment when you’ve cut the junk away and balanced whatever there is to be balanced. Suddenly the content just floats in front of you. Weightlessness, lightness, transparency. As designers of clarity, these feelings tell us when we’ve hit the nail where we should hit it.

UI design is sort of like maintaining a Bonsai tree, don’t you think? It’s all about removing the unnecessary cruft so you can reveal the true beauty and clarity of the information you’re attempting to present.
