A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity.
Good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.
The point of the essay is to change things.
What this means is that we shouldn't abbreviate the truth but rather get a new method of presentation.
It is not how much empty space there is, but rather how it is used. It is not how much information there is, but rather how effectively it is arranged.
There is no such thing as information overload, just bad design. If something is cluttered and/or confusing, fix your design.
