Awesome work!
Nitpicking/design language question - would you use the term "affordance" to describe the avatar silhouette itself? To me, that's just a clue, an indicator, a hint to the general action possibility (affordance) of setting up an avatar.
- samuelhulick 13y agoYeah, I sort of took poetic license with that one. I think the case could be made much more strongly if I was interacting directly with it, and if it indicated how I was supposed to do so. In this case, I used the term pretty carelessly.
- archivator 13y agoThanks for clarifying. I'm new to the world of design and am still struggling with some of the nuances of expression.
- samuelhulick 13y agoThis video is in regards to game design, but the lessons apply to web, as well. It's also the best explanation of affordances I've seen out there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCSXEKHL6fc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCSXEKHL6fc
