Choice! The more the better right? Wrong. According to a recent article I read called Easier Is Better Than Better, choice can actually be the down fall of a brilliant idea. When you really think about it, it makes perfect sense; How many times have stood in the grocery isle trying to choose between a variety of products that all seem to be the same but say different things? Of all the applications you use how many have you changed the settings on? Have you even touched the privacy settings on all of your online profiles? This has gotten me to thinking about how I can improve my writings and design lay outs. People don't want to think, and it's really that simple.
Though now that I think about it this train of thought leads me to remember what I read in the book Don't Make Me Think. Don't make me think is a book about webpage design, its simple and to the point, while explaining everything clearly and concisely. One of it's major points is to make web designs that are simple and straight forward for the users to navigate and understand. Personally I would highly recommend this book.
