I think it needs to be said. The entire field of design has been trashed in last 20 years. The decline started in the 90’s and the final straw came in late 2000’s. By entire field, I mean the full spectrum: Industrial design (touch screens) to Graphic design, typography (see Dropbox redesign) to branding (see how Pentagram destroyed the LoC logo). I don’t think I can buy a new car anymore.
I’ll say it again, be it hostile - designers aren’t raised and educated in user centric design. MacOS is full of transitions that are over 200ms. iOS is worse. I could go on and on. It’s gotten so bad, it’s appalling really.
- orhmeh09 5y agoI also agree that a change is needed and I think you're probably right about the designers, but I was a little puzzled by the criticisms in your original comment. I would also enjoy cleaner designs possibly inspired by the Swiss (and I am nostalgic for the expressive and well-researched designs used in older versions of Windows -- though I was unimpressed at the time, everything that came afterward is really not to my taste). On iOS, I'm quite thankful for "Reduce Motion" and I recommend it (however, I have seen this setting break a few apps).
- neilpanchal 5y agoReduce motion actually retains the animation time - just that the motion is replaced by fading animation. So you still have to wait 200ms to watch the window fade instead of morph.
- orhmeh09 5y agoReally? That's interesting to know, thanks! Guess it fooled me.
