What happened with iOS7?
- MrMike 13y agoGood insight from another skilled designer.
- stevencorona 13y agoMy knee jerk reaction is to agree with this post— it's design by committee, shed painting, whatever you want to call it. "This just makes me think that each individual app team submitter their own design for an icon based on some loose guidelines and they all got thrown together into a bucket" Probably resonates with me the hardest— personally, I think the apps look great, but the icons really just look "off" to me. To each their own, I suppose.
- umeshunni 13y agoThe author seems to be incapable of making the distinction between design by committee and data-driven decisions making.
- hcarvalhoalves 13y agoRight on spot. The icons are middleway between photorealist and pictograms, and end looking neither, just childish and unpolished. The lack of affordances (no obvious buttons) will hurt usability a lot, as will the pale white backgrounds on everything. It looks like UI designed by graphical ("paper") designers. Awful.
