Design Principles

Enchant me
- Delight me in surprising ways
- Real objects are more fun than buttons and menus
- Let me make it mine
- Get to know me
Simplify my life
- Keep it brief
- Pictures are faster than words
- Decide for me but let me have the final say
- Only show what I need when I need it
- I should always know where I am
- Never lose my stuff
- If it looks the same, it should act the same
- Only interrupt me if it's important
Make me amazing
- Give me tricks that work everywhere
- It's not my fault
- Sprinkle encouragement
- Do the heavy lifting for me
- Make important things fast
