Tiny Outline Chapter 02 · Reduction
03 / 12

The rule of less

Simple things, clearly made

Start with one true shape

Reduce the first idea to a circle, a line, and one generous field of white.

Let color do one job

Yellow calls attention, red marks the moment, and blue gives the page a steady place to land.

Keep the line generous

A single dark outline gives every element the same friendly weight from header to footer.

Leave room for delight

More margin is not less content; it lets the clearest idea stay with you.
