Simplicity

Simplicity can be achieved by optimizing the number of elements on a screen without overloading the user with information.  Also, minimize the alignment points, especially horizontal or columnar.  This is a complicated topic with formulas that have been developed to measure screen complexity.  These formulas are not within the scope of this project, but to learn more about this information see resource one on the references page.

The following two examples will demonstrate a simple example of simplicity vs. complexity.
