Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) Banners and Posters

KISS is an acronym for the design principle articulated by Kelly Johnson, Keep it simple, stupid! The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex, therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

The History Behind KISS

The acronym was coined by Kelly Johnson, lead engineer at the Lockheed Skunk Works (creators of the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird spy planes, among many others).

While popular usage translates it as ‘Keep it simple, stupid’, Johnson translated it as ‘Keep it simple stupid’, and this reading is still used by many authors. There was no implicit meaning that an engineer was stupid; just the opposite.

The principle is best exemplified by the story of Johnson handing a team of design engineers a handful of tools, with the challenge that the jet aircraft they were designing must be repairable by an average mechanic in the field under combat conditions with only these tools. Hence, the ‘stupid’ refers to the relationship between the way things break and the sophistication available to fix them.

The acronym is used by many in the United States Air Force and the field of software development.
