Well, it's much more successful a design department indulgence than https://dropbox.design https://dropbox.design
It looks pretty good. But both initiatives are retro throwback Design Affectations — "Our Own Helvetica!" — and, for my tastes, it is a little bit twee to apply it over the whole interface. A better executed PT Cruiser is still a PT Cruiser.
It feels like a corporate design macro fashion trend, like ultrathin weight fonts were a few years ago, or square composition photos and enforced circular cropped avatars.
- cheeze 9y agoThat page just hurt my eyes...
- dna_polymerase 9y agoReally? I actually liked it. It doesn't look like most of tech redesgins, reminds me of American Ads from the 60's. I like how they do thing differently.
- pcurve 9y agoAs a design person, I think it's pretty terrible. But it is also terrible with such conviction that you can't help but wonder, "hrm, I suppose this is good?" With that said though, even though that particular page looks terrible, I think properly implemented page can look pretty compelling.
