Wonderful quote from slide 69: http://www.changemakrs.com/EdwardTufte/design-isn-t-crafting-a-beautiful-textured http://www.changemakrs.com/EdwardTufte/design-isn-t-crafting... (website above requires login to see the quote, however you can also simply point the slidedeck to slide 69.) I'm building and designing an app and this huge slidedeck has tripled my open tabs, many nice pointers, insights and resources--greatly recommend to go through it.

  Also a fantastically epic display of the 2013 web experience from one of it's worst sides: in order to read this single quote from a Famous Guy(TM), I'm supposed to log in with Facebook. Yeah, right. They even know this is weird and go to some length to "lubricate" the process by having an explanation pop up. Fail.

    My bad, that was not linked to the original presentation, but to the single quote on a website for quotes. I wasn't aware they required login though, that's really bad and goes against what I think is greatest in the web (that is, apps that let you get using them without even identifiying yourself, and sign up only later if you want). However your criticism is still spot on, since the website (changemakrs.com) is a fine example of great visual design following all latest trends of minimalistic and big type, as in the slides, but a poor example of usability design indeed. Thanks for the heads up, I'll refrain from linking quotes through them until it's made more accessible.

So basically he rediscovered poorly Bauhaus works about design and some 400 years old knowledge about typography, and he missed the last 10 years in computer industry (when screen size changed from 640x480 to 1920x1080 and industry adapted). He missed the palo alto parc works (let's say the creator of all modern computer interface) stating scientifically (biomechanic stuff) touch screens based interface will never ever works. And of course his slides contradicts what he says (blue letters on blue background vs the advice of high contrast). I love this guy, so bold that people may believe him. BTW, doesn't it strikes you that his domain name is «prophets.be» his quotes uses a lot of words like mantra, and theologic crap, and that a theologic website is an example? Doesn't the word illuminated come to mind? The cool stuff about religious people is that they can make you believe impossible stuff are possible. It is almost has fun eating shrooms.
