I liked Marissa Mayer's design sensibility.
The new design (circa google plus and later) is sacrificing usability for visual beauty. Sometimes precisely one for another. Gmail? What a goddam disaster. Want to add a CC or BCC? a few clicks away. Want to format text? A few clicks away (if you can even find it) Ugh!
- oliv__ 12y agoNot sure about what she did for Google but I personally think Yahoo's current design shows poor taste, from the logo (redesigned in a weekend) to the huge purple shadow when you scroll. And it's not even that functional: the layout feels cluttered, there is no real hierarchy between elements; overall, it just feels like no one really knows where they are going. Their weather app was really nice though.
