thought of the day….
I was reading some article in the latest Vogue when the writer mentioned the classic Coco Chanel adage that
“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”
I’ve heard this quote many times before but for some reason it struck a strong chord within me this time. I realized we should be taking this same approach when designing anything!
How many times have you used tools that have had 20+ features you will never use. How many times have you walked into a house that had way too many paintings and pictures hanging on the walls. We are constantly bombarding ourselves with extra “stuff” that doesn’t help express who we are, but hide it.
So next time you’re creating a website, putting pictures up in your room, or juggling many tasks, do yourself a favor, take one thing off.
