PS - Skeuomorphism definition: "Strictly speaking it means retaining design features from earlier designs when those features previously had a specific reason for being that way, but do not any longer." - http://madebymany.com/blog/apples-aesthetic-dichotomy http://madebymany.com/blog/apples-aesthetic-dichotomy
- mannicken 15y agoI like the brochure thing. I think it takes into account the human nature of the users and their feelings. It's design that lets us feel connection with the program. I much rather prefer comfortable textured armchairs than soulless straight chairs of Bauhaus' spirit. I think what Metro and other "minimalists" forget to remember is that computer screen is a canvas, a medium. You shouldn't force user to think like a machine, but rather force the machine to think like a human.
