Keep It Simple Stupid. The very first time I heard this acronym was during an electronics lab in my 2 year college. I think simple really does do it from a brain side of things. Why? Because the brain doesn't like decompressing complex things and it attempts to take on the much simpler road. "path of least resistance".
Michael - Thanks for the link. That was a good article. I think if you didn’t know FedEx was in the shipping business the simplicity of this add may get lost to the reader, and they might misinterpret the message. “A common error in judging models is not knowing what the model is trying to represent and/or do. If you don't know what the model is trying to do, how can you judge if it is a good or bad model?”
I think that although the KISS method is used in different contexts, looking at this add, I felt that the simple message this image present, provided you know FedEx services, is very effective.
