LESS IS MORE, MORE IS LESS

To me, I think the quote "less is more, more is less" is a way of portraying simplicity. As designers, we should always try to make our designs simple yet understandable and straight forward. Instead of making things complicated, why not keep it simple to let others have a more direct approach to our designs.

This quote also signifies minimalism, which from Wikipedia defines it as movements in various forms of art and design like visual art and music.

If a designer tends to have a "less-is-more" design, one would succeed in presenting a more specific and more attractive design than a designer who is trying to do a "more-is-less" design. Making things complicated and plenty might confuse others and even misunderstand.
