“It is important to avoid trying to create something that is average in all dimensions.”
William Lidwell, Universal Principles of Design

“Every element in a design should be expressed to the extent necessary, but not beyond the extent necessary. Excess is noise.”
William Lidwell, Universal Principles of Design

“The aesthetic-usability effect describes a phenomenon in which people perceive more-aesthetic designs as easier to use than less-aesthetic designs—whether they are or not.”
William Lidwell, Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated: 125 Ways to Enhance Usability, Influence Perception, Increase Appeal, Make Better Design Decisions, and Teach through Design
