Skeuomorphism can be horrible if it's not done properly!

  All the cool kids are talking about skeuomorphic design lately.

    Couple of years back, it was all about "modernism".
    • dredmorbius 14y ago
      Modern ain't what it used to be.

    It's a technical-sounding word that makes the speaker look smart when they are complaining about design.
• duaneb 14y ago
  Actually, horrible is pretty much the default.

    Designers in the house! I literally could not absorb the content of the 'letter' because the design hurt my eyes so.

  • HeyImAlex 14y ago

      • tripzilch 14y ago

          ... on 75% post-consumer recycled paper.
          • tripzilch 14y ago
            I was thinking about the old continuous tractor-feed paper, some kinds are really thin, almost slightly translucent, for that extra subtle low-contrast retro design! ;-)
