I’ve been thinking lately about design and universal principles that I should apply to both my ux designs and the process surrounding their creation.  I’ve come across a handful of quotes that illustrates a few good ideas that i would like to capture.  I’m going to list a few of my ideas and the quotes behind them.  Think of these as candidate principles or guidelines for the final list.

It’s free to think, so do it a lot.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. - Linus Pauling

Keep it as simple as it can be without being simpler than it should be.

The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction. - John Maeda

Consider the entire product experience.

The experience is the product. - Brandon Schauer (with autograph in the cover of “Subject to Change”)

That’s all I have on my list for now.  Any suggestions for candidate principles or supporting quotes.
