What do the shapes mean?
- 1f60c 6y agoI think they were just meant to make the design more interesting :)
- jmole 6y agothe shapes are the raison d'etre for the article. "How many UX concepts can I attempt to illustrate with basic shapes and shading?"
- TeMPOraL 6y agoI'll hazard a guess: the site is a portfolio piece, meant to show off both the author's ability to make artistic design, and their familiarity with some theory behind UX. If it were meant to convey information first, it would have looked like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24031163 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24031163.
- KineticLensman 6y agoSome of them seem completely arbitrary. Others vaguely relate to the law involved - e.g. #6 where the circles share a common boundary. I prefer the rules in my copy of Design Elements - A Graphic Style Manual. Its rule #2 make a comment that is apt here: communicate don't decorate.
