Sculpting Software Animation

Designing animation is sculpting time. Timing is critical. If you don’t consider animation timing, you’re not designing animation. Animation is visual music. Skilled animators employ rhythm, timing, tempo, composition, texture and dynamics. The year is 2018, interface design tools are finally incorporating animation, but many are missing the mark. They’re…

Spatial Interfaces

I think spatially, and so do you. Can you scratch your left ear without looking? Pick a booger out of your nose, without poking your brain? Remember where you left your keys? Can you type, without looking at your keyboard? Know which pocket your phone is in? Which way is…

Engagement vs Happiness

In the case of Facebook, it’s sad that the measurable number of engagement, carries more weight than emotional feedback. This Cerebral thinking obliterates any value around Limbic (emotional / empathetic) thinking. They’ve lured so many people (including myself) into relying on the product, due to immense value provided for general communication. Products like Messenger & Events are magnets used to suck people into a system; to trick users into being ‘consensual’ subjects, primed for manipulation.

Milestones, not Timelines

I don't care about my last flurry of saves too much. There are so many tools which save every single “CMD + S” as a revision - which is usually pretty meaningless. Do we really need a snapshot of every single pixel nudge? …

Transitional Interfaces

Designers love to sweat the details. Much time is spent pixel-fucking buttons, form styles, setting type, & getting those icons as sharp as a tack. A+, great job, don't stop you guys. ...but there's little consideration about how it all fits together outside of a static comp. You tap a…
