We live in a world where we are bombarded by messages on the Internet, on billboards, in our magazines and newspapers. Often, something simple has a calming effect in this overwhelming world filled with messages. Twitter generates 250 million Tweets each day. More than 2.8 million emails are sent every second. The average American sees over 3,000 advertising messages each and every day (Source). Often, the simple designs are the ones that resonate the most. Need more examples?
