Keep It Simple Stupid T-Shirt

KISS, which stands for "keep it simple, stupid," is a design principle first noted by the United States Navy in 1960. According to the KISS principle, most systems work best when they are kept simple rather than complicated; thus, simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. Kelly Johnson, an aircraft engineer, has been associated with the phrase. While popular usage has been "Keep it simple, stupid," Johnson transcribed it as "Keep it simple, stupid" (no comma), and this reading is still used by many authors.

Variations on the phrase include: "Keep it simple, silly", "keep it short and simple", "keep it short and sweet", "keep it simple and straightforward", "keep it small and simple", "keep it simple, soldier", "keep it simple, sailor", or "keep it sweet and simple".

The acronym is also used in the field of software development. Moreover, it is the main principle of Arch Linux distribution.

Hey! I am Ntounas Alexios, born in Thessaloniki, Greece. I am a software engineer and in the past few years I became passionate about photography. I always enjoyed travelling and exploring new places. With my photos I can share those experiences with the rest of the world. Photography is a good reason to wake up early to capture a sunrise, to stay out late to photograph the milky way or to wait for the perfect light. In the end its all about being out in nature capturing the perfect moment. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and astrophotography are my favorite genres of photography. My photographs have been published in Greek magazines and I have participated in various photography exhibitions.
