Remove clutter. Allow the eye to breathe.
The essence of an often-quoted bit of advice from Coco Channel can also be applied as a design theory,
“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.”
Now, apply this to other forms of creative design.
Whatever design elements you are pushing about, try removing one, or two. Add white space. It almost always brings clarity. This theory can be used in graphic design, interior design and beyond.
When too many design elements compete, your design loses professionalism, direction, and organization.
Remove clutter. Allow the eye to breathe. So simple!

I stumbled across this in a novel I’m reading as a dialogue between characters and it really struck me— how true! Art just needs to ΒＥ. Maybe you’re expressing creativity by journaling, drawing, or even rearranging your furniture for the 1millionth time 🙋🏼♀️!!! It doesn’t matter how, you just need to work it out! •
Research shows that creating increases positive emotions, reduces stress and anxiety— and helps us express difficult emotions like sadness and grief. (info source: project-resiliency.org) It doesn’t have to be perfect. •
