Refine our bodies (subtract and chisel away <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/16\/if-you-want-to-gain-muscle-mass-and-lose-body-fat-eat-more-meat-and-quit-sugar-carbs-fruit-and-starches\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"264959\">body fat<\/a>), with design &#8230; to simplify, streamline, make thinner, and make the design more direct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With fonts&#8230; more refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With design and clothing, more refined. Fewer flourishes and superfluous design elements; as insanely simple as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With cameras, to refine it. For example I find the <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/24\/quick-thoughts-on-ricoh-gr-iiix\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"356067\">RICOH GR IIIx<\/a> interesting because while it is not &#8216;better&#8217;, it is certainly more refined. Refined how so? Essentially it is the same as the GR III, except the <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/24\/image-quality-of-ricoh-gr-iiix-is-significantly-better-than-ricoh-gr-iii\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"356105\">lens<\/a> is more refined (superior optics). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With car design, the reason the Porsche <a href=\"https:\/\/www.porsche.com\/usa\/models\/911\/911-models\/\">911<\/a> is so interesting is that over all the years and decades, the goal is to continually refine it into something more perfect and simple. Also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/model3\">Tesla Model 3<\/a> &#8212; while it may the most &#8216;boring&#8217; design, it is certainly the most simple and refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With devices, the goal should be to refine it. With <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/19\/17-lessons-steve-jobs-has-taught-me\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"113662\">Steve Jobs<\/a>, the goal was to continually *refine* the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air laptops. Now the trend seems to be the opposite &#8212; make the devices bigger, bulkier, more powerful, but less refined. Therefore the best laptop is the most *refined* one &#8230; the most slim, the most powerful one. MacBook Air maxed out. For phone, the most refined one &#8230; perhaps the iPhone Mini (the most powerful processor in the smallest size).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our design ethos and goal&#8211; to refine.
