Don't get me wrong - I enjoy simplicity in a layout just as much as the next person. I just don't get why someone can put a little logo and nothing else on their page, call it a "simplistic, elegant style" and everybody goes bezerk.

Simplicity is beautiful when done right, but it's also one of the hardest things to accomplish. Every one of your flaws can be shown. Every single element of a simple design needs to be PERFECT, or the whole thing doesn't work. People think simple is easy but it totally isn't, because if you don't have the skills, you can't pull good shit out your ass.
Most of the "minimalistic" crap I see around here is just that - crap. It's minimal and in a bad way. There's no design concept and everything from composition, colours, fonts...they're wrong. You really have to be very particular when it comes to simple things and that applies to a multitude of designing, not just web layouts. |
