My favorite design style is minimalist-style(Minimalism-design). I’m not sure becuase of my nationality, I like finding the beauty in simplicity.  I often feel “the less is the more”, but at the same time being simple and mimimal is hard to do since I have tendency adding things more and more.

Here are some elements about minimalist web design:

• simplicity, simple elegant - make the simple things simple
• clean and fine finishes
• use of the fonts
• use of the white space
• essential use of graphic - use graphics only when absolutely necessary
• the subject is reduced to its necessary elements
• using only a small number of shapes and color
• natural textures and colors
• sometimes use contrast colors for aesthetics, or to emphasize what is important
• easy to navigate
• use css (cascading style sheet) to make the pages smaller and load faster
• unique

Here are some minimalistic website designs I like;

poccuo.com	Kind Company
cravattificio.com	frieze magazine

BTW, speaking of minimalism, I like also minimal art & design, and my favorite artists are Sol Lewitt, Donald Judd , Dan Flavin and more… How about you, guys?

Also I feel the people in this region generally have a tendency to consider “The more the better”. Do you feel the same way?
