I love the idea of removing the unnecessary - having been a software geek for a number of years, I get quite twitchy at all the software that's out there full to bursting with unnecessary Stuff (and with clients who want everything and the kitchen sink in a simple, specific app).</p> Great post!

We are so impatient. Throwaway society doesn't encourage taking the time to create something lasting. "If it isn't great on the first try, pitch it and start over." Fortunately, digital media allow reworking of the "block of marble" before the design is, so to speak, set in concrete. But we still must take the time.</p> Great post, Chanpory! We are so impatient.

Good writing also needs a plan and vision, and you definitely have to cut out the fluff and extra verbiage.</p> I agree with Jason.

I especially appreciate the idea that good design removes the unnecessary. On the other hand, sometimes one's goals might require "excess." But in that case I suppose that excess would be necessary and not removed. (I'm thinking in particular of more baroque design styles intended to create an overwhelming experience.)</p> <p>I actually wrote an entry a while ago about <a href="http://joshuaclanton.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">6 Web Design Tips from Leonardo Da Vinci</a>. Most people don't seem to understand how much of the old masters' thoughts and practices can be reapplied to modern work.</p> Great entry!
