(Happen to be on a ski vacation this week and are staying at a place in Jackson Hole with a huge painting of his on the wall.)
We were just talking this morning about how this guy has made a career for himself.
I actually like the "monoculture" because it makes it easy to understand how resorts are laid out. It is consistent.
- medellin 4y agoI went to a resort where some other person was hired to do the map and its the only place i was consistently going to the wrong place. He has a talent for showing the terrain in a way that is easy to remember and understand
- mik3y 4y agoI rememember going to a talk at the computer history museum given by Apple old-timers Chris Espinosa and Larry Tesler in the early 2000s. One of the things they talked about was System 6 or System 7, and an example of how it was different from Windows 3 in one of many ways: The system bar—“File”, “View”, etc.—was at the top of the screen, not each window. This consistency made it easy “throw” the cursor to the top of the screen and get to the thing you needed, a consistent experience, no matter what app you were in or what the window layout was. This “consistency of experience” point always stayed with me as such a core principle of good design, whether in computer UIs, quick serve restaurants, or here, I guess, ski map visual style.
- matsemann 4y ago> Happen to be on a ski vacation this week I'm from a small mountain town in Norway. There's about 2500 people here normally, but >40000 people here now during Easter. I like your "happen to be", heh, feels like everyone's here! Our poor little roundabout. All traffic in the city has to go through it. The roads aren't built for this amount of cars.
