The following is a link to a 6-minute video where Sean Carroll uses a
simple analogy to illustrate the difference between complexity and
entropy.

For those who even this is TL;DR, here's the short version:
Start with a cup of hot coffee, and pour in some cold milk. In the
beginning, the mixture is both simple and ordered. However, the two
liquids quickly form eddies and swirls, and the mixture becomes more
complex and more disordered. Eventually the two liquids mix
completely, and the mixture is even simpler than when it started, but
maximally disordered.
My takeaway: Purposeful designs can be either simple or complex.
Complexity occurs spontaneously and so doesn't inform purposeful
design, claims of cdesign proponentsists notwithstanding.
