Yesturday while going through Milton Glaser’s website i read his article ‘Less is not necessarily more”
I should say i was quite influenced by his writing. This has now become a kind of mantra for modern designers. Less is More. Now imagine a extencively intricate indian mughal art or miniature painting or beautifully hand woven carpets or a rich Persian rug, where do you in any way recall LESS? But it definately is more. As Milton Glaser very rightly says that every part of that design, every change of colour, every shift in form is absolutely essential for its aesthetic success. You cannot prove that a single color plain ceiling or carpet or rug is ,in any way, superior to all these beautiful pices of art. He has however given an alternative proposition which is more appropriate:
“Just enough is More”
