Why is that I disagree with every article from Ian Storm Taylor? Media Queries are not hacks and the new IOS7 looks slick to me.
Real world characteristics were used for a long time as a crutch. It helped the non tech savvy connect to technology, because they were utilizing things they recognized from the real world.
Fast forward and now people don't need this crutch. Flat design and minimalism are proof of that. Don't be scared of change.
- ianstormtaylor 13y agoNot sure, although it seems like you didn't read the article. Also you don't disagree with _every_ article of mine because I argued exactly what you are arguing in this comment a couple years back: http://ianstormtaylor.com/skeumorphism-on-the-ipad/ http://ianstormtaylor.com/skeumorphism-on-the-ipad/
- websitescenes 13y agohahaha, I'm probably am still upset about the media queries.
- websitescenes 13y agook, so I read the article and I see what you are saying now. Knee jerk reaction on my part. I guess they should have removed more of the real world references than they did.
- ianstormtaylor 13y ago:p no worries. It's true though that some of the real world icons are still necessary for the quick mental connection with the apps purpose.
