5th: "Jonathan Biography"

"Jonathan Biography" is a biography of Apple's chief design book, because I am not an artist, this book is very fast, only to his design of a variety of products, simple and simplified concept was impressed.

"Do we need this part?" Is it possible to have this part perform the function of four parts? In this way, we repeat the simplification process over and over again. If this design can achieve the desired effect, not only the production process of the equipment can be simplified, people are also more convenient to use. ”

The book also mentions Steve Jobs's focus and simplicity, his four quadrant product strategy, the product is not too little, but too much, to simplify to four categories of products, to do them well enough. That's what we do with software, isn't it? Busy all day project, knot problem, a large pile of projects, product features increasingly more miscellaneous, more and more difficult to use.

See them in the choice of a color unexpectedly a few weeks, but also to design a variety of real-world model of the process, it is inconceivable that we do software interface design, who is responsible for this part of who to casually get a color on the line.

The biggest feeling and possible action of reading the book is that simplicity and simplification are needed in the design of software requirements and designs, and simplification is actually more difficult than complexity.
