Editor's Notes
- Dude abides
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery was a famous writer, poet and pioneering aviator, who wrote The Little Prince.
- Photoshop as it exists today.
- Photoshop for UI designers in the future, thanks to Project Recess.
- If your users don’t know where they are or what they’re looking at, it’s because your visual hierarchies aren’t clear enough.
- Luke Wroblewski was Chief Design Architect at Yahoo, Lead Interface Designer at eBay and Co-founded of Polar.
- Ello has had $5.5 million of investment, promising an ad-free social network, being a Public Benefit Corporation. Yet they lost 50% of their active Oct to Nov alone.
- Edward Tuft is an American statistician, Yale professor, and a pioneer in field of data visualisation.
- If it looks like you can’t touch something, people will think they can’t.
- Flat vs. Skeumorphic
- iOS 7 and iOS 6, side-by-side.
- 4. Use appropriate typography
- Is this a comic book, or one of the most profound scientific discoveries of our lifetime? It’s CERN’s live presentation on the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
- A common and very unhelpful HP LaserJet error message.
- Intuitive = familiar, so don’t cut down potentially great design ideas if it’s not “intuitive” but is quickly learnable.
- Rakuten’s Japanese market place is one of the country’s most popular. It lends itself to their risk averse culture, with users requiring great assurances and details – not shiny images and clever one-liners.
- Fueling the Standardisation vs Localisation war, Rakuten’s English site completely shifts toward something approachable by Western culture instead of just being a language translation.
- On any budget, even none, you can still user test.
