- ngokevin 14y agoIsn't #1 describing digital design? I associate flat design more with less gradients and box shadows.
- untog 14y agoGIFs seem to be making an uprising online and the next logical step is to use them in design. The more things change...

- robertwilliams 14y agoHere's to hoping these design trends focus on helping solve business or society problems and not just the design communities desire for 'pixel perfection.'
- gannonburgett 14y agoI definitely agree. Number 11 touches on that a decent amount.
- woah 14y ago"Here's to hoping that these new libraries and frameworks focus on helping solve business or society problems and not just the software communities desire for 'elegant code'." See what I did there? Craftsmanship is craftsmanship.
- pcurve 14y agoI'm eager to see how the flat-design trend bakes out. Some designers are going overboard with it at the expense of usability, but maybe it's because I'm used to the world of abundance affordance.
- shellehs 14y ago> less button right. I don;t think buttons are good ones on touchscreen. On plat face, I'd rather swipe than click. swiping is more naturally than clicking and hurting less. Also I love the new design trend, flat, simple and elegant.
- i386 14y ago> The best example I have found yet is the camera icon on the iOS lock screen Its important to remember that they didn't design it to be swiped just for the sake of having a gesture. If it were a button, you could start taking photos inside of your pocket if you managed to turn the screen on. The swiping gesture just makes it more difficult todo accidentally.
- shellehs 14y agoyes. and swipe to camera did not first appear on iOS but Android(maybe HTC or Samsung? I can't remember)
- gannonburgett 14y agoI do agree. I didn't mention that for the sake of gestures. I used that as an example of affordance.
- wingerlang 14y agoWhat is a hamburger button? I cannot download "the magazine" app (iOS6 req.).

- wingerlang 14y agoOh those, thanks.
- nezza-_- 14y agoI don't think the guy writing this really knows what he's talking about.
- mnicole 14y agoCase in point: touting Quartz, quite possibly the worst modern UX I've ever come across in the wild.
- gannonburgett 14y agoI had mentioned Quartz due to the fact that it's a web platform built with consistency across devices in mind. I was focusing on the point that while native makes a lot of sense in most cases, with publications (with a reader base across all platforms) the way in which Quartz went about producing their product was wise. The design isn't necessarily great, as many people would say, but the solution they arrived at is one which I feel will reverberate throughout the year.
- mnicole 14y agoThe awkward thing with Quartz is that the design itself is great, but the implementation and experience is a total failure in the browser. I am 100% with you on the point you're making, but Quartz makes a better example of what-not-to-do.
