5 Ways That Android Is Trying To Break The Mobile... →

A few months back, this wouldn’t be the sort of thing I would imagine someone writing about Android: So for Ice Cream Sandwich, the UX team designed each building block to be as minimal as possible. Individual screens still use the elements, but it’s the overall layout that captures your attention, rather than the individual units. It sounds like Android’s trying to come into...

Misinterpreting Minimalism →

As of late, I’ve noticed there are quite a few websites popping up that are designed in a minimalist aesthetic. I believe designing in this style requires more attention to typography and grid systems to be effective. The importance of designing on a grid – especially in web design – can’t be emphasized enough, and I also worry that a lot of young designers aren’t being...

Critic's Notebook: Apple's new campus will be a... →

The more interesting question is whether a place like Cupertino can maintain its low-density sprawl in future decades, as the Bay Area’s population continues to grow, and whether the council’s enthusiasm for the new Apple headquarters can be read as an endorsement of a car-dependent approach to city and regional planning that might have made sense in the 1970s but will seem...
