There's not enough contrast between the street names and the rest of the map, making readability a problem. It's the kind of design mistake that young people with nice monitors make!
- schwanksta 15y agoI know this guy's being downvoted here, but he's got a point. I find people on nice, big cinema displays tend to make choices on colors and labeling that people with shittier monitors wouldn't make. Eg, colors that are very close, tinier labels, etc.
- tmcw 15y agoThis was designed primarily on a MacBook Pro running Linux, so the colors were oddly calibrated. We tested it on several other calibrated monitors, and a few other devices (iPhone/Pad/Android). Short story is that it could be much bolder and more colorful, at the cost of aesthetics. A growing number of users have good screens - sometimes excellent screens like most mobile devices.
- Danieru 15y agoOk, but have you tested it on the absolute worst your users will be using? What does it look like on grandma's 17 inch crt from 2002?
- tmcw 15y agoIt'll probably look odd, just like everything on an old computer. Designing for the craziest CRT is just as bad or worse than designing for a cinema display.
