The One

Simplicity is about the subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

The 3 keys:

Away: more appears to be less by moving it further away. Eg google is away of storing information away from your own computer. While working on the point exhibition we utilized google docs to share information.

Open: Share information with collaborators

Power: Use power wisely, control the time you use power. As a designer spend some time away from the computer designing on paper, researching through books, take photographs and use your own graphics.

Power as an enabler / disabler: the use of adobe creative suite enabled us to design our logo and signs, though because of the limitless options available to adapt the designs was also a disabler, compared to the time it may have taken to hand draw the logo.

What I could take away from the process of the navigation system to add more meaning:

Simplify, less signs that are more obvious
