CH. 5 + 6 TLOS

CH 5

I thought the story he tells of the imperfect tea cup was a good illustration of the interaction of simplicity and complexity. When I am working, I don’t often consider how simplicity and complexity can interact with each other. It is interesting how these two concepts can compliment each other.

CH 6

In chapter six, Maeda talks about paying attention to the background. In the beginning of the chapter, he talks about either being a “light bulb”, and illuminating everything around you, or being “laser beam” and only illuminating a single point. This concept has interest to me, because I want to broaden my design, yet seem to continue to focus on concepts and styles I have already used.
