Tranquillity & FigmaRider
I've been thinking—does stripping a design down to its bare bones sometimes leave users feeling lost, almost like a quiet room with no furniture?
Bare bones can feel like an empty room that whispers, so some users walk out lighter, others wander looking for furniture. The trick is finding that quiet spot where the mind can put a chair on its own. If they feel lost, maybe the design needs a window that points the way.
Exactly—it's like giving people a blank canvas but dropping a subtle frame so they know where to start sketching. If the frame is missing, they end up wandering. The trick is to hint, not dictate.
So you put a frame and still watch them paint in the dark—nice. Hinting is the quiet shout that keeps the brush from drifting into silence.
So yeah, you set the frame and let them paint, but the real trick is that quiet nudge that keeps their strokes from wandering off into the void.
