00:00:00 ◼   ► christa Morgan you wrote an article yet article on macworld this week's why [TS]

00:00:03 ◼   ► invited to be on the show why iOS Evans design is bold but flawed I get a lot of [TS]

00:00:09 ◼   ► attention for this article I think I was really surprised by that that was it was [TS]

00:00:13 ◼   ► really flattering I think that there's more than you could say about it down in [TS]

00:00:20 ◼   ► my opinion sure you describe it our board your mouth but you describe the [TS]

00:00:26 ◼   ► move you know and it is it is kind of hard to describe just what exactly [TS]

00:00:29 ◼   ► they've done it very clear from the moment they first showed that video on [TS]

00:00:33 ◼   ► stage that they did something very drastic rate but once you start to 2012 [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► articulated it it's kinda hard it's not black it's not and no doubt three you [TS]

00:00:44 ◼   ► call it followed 3d to real 2.5 D right yeah so and that comes from just what I [TS]

00:00:52 ◼   ► used to do it after effects and I so I recommend increases article about you [TS]

00:00:58 ◼   ► know multiplanar technologies like yes exactly that's exactly it and so I was [TS]

00:01:03 ◼   ► really excited by this actually just in terms of like I really want to design [TS]

00:01:07 ◼   ► for it because it sort of combines like my past and you know animation [TS]

00:01:12 ◼   ► experience with with the user interface design and I just think it's all BS [TS]

00:01:17 ◼   ► they've stripped away the sort of they're going for their home for 3d but [TS]

00:01:21 ◼   ► it was you know flat two-dimensional you know elements and they were sort of [TS]

00:01:26 ◼   ► static on the screen and so they had to rely on these really bubbly sort of icon [TS]

00:01:30 ◼   ► with a lot of class and the teacher doesnt stop by now that they can how you [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► know sort of two and a half Dr yes you know it's it's what that means but when [TS]

00:01:37 ◼   ► you tilt the phone you can sort of see how things moving relationship to each [TS]

00:01:41 ◼   ► other another they have that they can strip away you know all of the all the [TS]

00:01:47 ◼   ► unnecessary the 3d stuff which i think is really the pic 3d stuff it really [TS]

00:01:53 ◼   ► wouldn't work with this cause I soon as you tilt the phone in the shadows and [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► the gloss wouldn't move with it so that the illusion of being told they broke in [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► that way so it really you know this sort of what flat two and a half the sort of [TS]

00:02:07 ◼   ► thing really works best with with flat plains [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► and I think that the fact that you have an animation background and I think that [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► it's not a coincidence that you articulated this change very well and I [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► think part of that is the fact that that part of the design team in Apple behind [TS]

00:02:25 ◼   ► this have come from not from a traditional user interface background [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► but from the motion graphics by ground and I don't think it's a coincidence [TS]

00:02:34 ◼   ► that all that like the movie they used to open the BBC which had nothing to do [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► with I was seven but it was chock full of really interesting motion graphic [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► House Beautiful yeah it was it was gorgeous I loved it was really excited [TS]

00:02:46 ◼   ► just to see that and that it was great that they opened with some sense I'd [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► like to see some of that come to Iowa 70 yeah definitely would be would be great [TS]

00:02:55 ◼   ► just like a fluidity to those to those videos that I think would fit right in [TS]

00:03:00 ◼   ► with iOS 7 but isn't isn't quite there yet [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► factor of time right and I don't know really much about the technical aspect I [TS]

00:03:10 ◼   ► don't know how you know it's it's like a matter of just they're being limited [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► ability to actually do such fluid animations you know and do it in real [TS]

00:03:20 ◼   ► time on the phone or if it's or if it's a matter of they just haven't perfected [TS]

00:03:26 ◼   ► in homes that much yet but I definitely think it's going in that direction of [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► it'll just become more and more fluid that way and hopefully I think you know [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► it would graduate possibly two more 3d interface really like you're moving [TS]

00:03:38 ◼   ► through folders and and groups of apps basically on an icy access through the [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► phone I think that'd be neat to see it happening and just sort of as an interim [TS]

00:03:48 ◼   ► step my favorite new thing I think it all of Iowa's Devyn is to go from home [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► screen to a folder to adapt and blackout yeah I love it yeah totally reminds me [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► of the powers of 10 movie yeah yeah this reason the argon hydrogen fueling in a [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► certain way and it feels fine make sure yet totally yeah it feels like he really [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► are moving that way whereas before you know things are just order move up and [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► down and yes you were sort of getting the idea of going going into something [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► but not completely you know I mean it's writing and talking it's ok but I think [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► that you know sometimes you can you can you can make the logical argument for it [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► in writing better but I feel like when talking about things you can make the [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► the field argument for things better and that's why do a podcast I'm not sure but [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► I do think too I think that the fact that there's people with serious [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► professional motion graphics background behind this ad is what had the rigor to [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► the rules about the plane's [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► seven and they're like yeah I was seven cuz I've seen people say that now that [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► there's no difference with Iowa six then now regard it's just it's really just [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► stylistic crowd because things slid under now bars before a bit but in the [TS]

00:05:19 ◼   ► old days people designers used to cheat and a my favorite example of that is the [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► linen because sometimes lyndon was over like a notification centre you down in [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► london is over but then you'd open a folder in linen was under so where where [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► is the linen exactly yeah that's that's a really good point and you can cheat [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► because you can make software do anything you can have it be over and [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► under and it doesn't you know it's almost like a brain teaser puzzle but it [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► takes away from the satisfaction I made doesn't make it feel like you're using a [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► system makes it feel like it's all a little arbitrary right and I feel like [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► Apple is really thick specifically address that problem like regardless of [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► whether you prefer brushed glass as the sort of look and feel of the layer or [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► you like that that fake linen texture of the lair at the very least I don't see [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► how anybody could argue that having a more logical set of rules as to what [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► goes on what layer is not a win for the system [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► right now I think that's that's a really good point and i think actually the the [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► blurred sort of like frosted blasting makes a lot of sense because you could [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► have sort of infinitely it's always whatever is underneath of it you know is [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► underneath of it so that sort of like it always makes sense resolution and it [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► sort of felt like it should be under and so than when it was over it was [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► confusing I don't know I never has a lot of problems with just the the rampant [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► sort of tons of user glare sort of everywhere this is something I can't [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► have you no I don't I don't mind it so much yet and we'll see how I feel about [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► it and another couple of months but really I think that gets to Craig [TS]

00:06:59 ◼   ► Hockenberry point which I keep making every week on the show but that it it [TS]

00:07:03 ◼   ► goes to the 3d effects in the original version of the aqua once you add that I [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► think it's the i think probably the right way to go is to go a little [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► overboard and then dial dial it back here from Sarah yeah but I think I [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► haven't probably right that it's over board right now but yeah I think that [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► it's but I think it might be the right way to go in the first version it goes [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► this route [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► a very specific question and I don't think I've looked in what Apple is [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► written so far for the human interface stuff and they don't really have like an [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► iOS 7 human interface guide you have sort of a transition guide yeah but [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► there's nowhere near as much documentation as I sort of assumed there [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► was when I first logged in today Dec account and a WBC and I it seemed like [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► there was a lot their WBC a $3 and then I read like 20 pages [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► yeah and here's a specific question so in all of Apple's Epson Stylus 7 the [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► ones involving updated for the new [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► look they use a white mostly translucent mostly mostly solid semi translucent bar [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► and they pick different call them black in color is something like that so male [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► the button to go back to your inbox is blue and calendar it's red and yellow do [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► you think that right now [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► bar is a poison intends for that all Iowa 7 apps to use that and only pick a [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► color for tax or do you think colored have bars are still going to be a thing [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► they'll just be glad I think that they'll still be there will still be [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► colored bars and then they'll just use the blame because that was all he [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► remember what presentation to you is and I will give you the the WWDC [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► presentation videos and they gave you know specific instructions for how to [TS]

00:09:16 ◼   ► clean a bar and you know and keep the translation seeing and Blair happenings [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► and then in still control the tempo as well so I think they're they're not [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► totally opposed to that I don't think that they're wanting everyone to use the [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► white I think you know all of Apple stuff will probably for the most part [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► stick with wait until I don't know until they decide to break out into something [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► different maybe not this this time but in the future and other big update but [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► yeah I think other people and third party apps will definitely use colored [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► number still but you know just using the translucency in and blur still be you [TS]

00:09:54 ◼   ► know that'll be and removing League exaggerated 3d ages underneath the [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► swirling content to having instead they're right on top like Nike will [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► still use of vibrant red and Yelp will use red [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► and you know who else has a distinctive color like that but you know a lot about [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► distinction that's a big part of like knowing where you are as far as being a [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► third party app like it's just a big part of like the color scheme tells you [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► what the apps identity is sort of so I can just at a glance when I pick my [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► iphone backup be like oh yeah I'm in mint or whatever you know I just so you [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► know I think that'll and you know stripping away all of this other stuff [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► yeah we're going to rely a lot more on color so I think having colored bars [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► will be a big thing I said I i i've come around on my left a bday BDC thinking [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► because that's what's going to fit in as the weeks have settled in and and I've [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► used the beta more and more I start to see that the white isn't really I don't [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► think supposed to be system wide it's more like the blue grey gradient yes I [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► could be faulty like the chrome that that that Safari and the settings out [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► and mail you exactly that's what the white house and apples to share just [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► using the default chrome because that's what the system should do one of the [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► other things that annoyed me over the years is the way that when the when the [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► iPad came out they made certain changes there yet didn't never know until I was [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► 7 never unified at between the iPhone and iPad so like three example when it's [TS]

00:11:44 ◼   ► always bugged me is that on the iPad Safari is gray whereas on the iPhone [TS]

00:11:50 ◼   ► it's blue grey yeah and I was taught that the great great was better for [TS]

00:11:55 ◼   ► Safari Safari was adapted really should be like color and always [TS]

00:12:04 ◼   ► I wonder and I actually haven't looked at beta 2 on an iPad yet never looked at [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► it on my iPad Mini and it didn't look great because of the text rendering and [TS]

00:12:16 ◼   ► then on a screen but that's all I've heard on that I actually haven't seen it [TS]

00:12:20 ◼   ► into an iPad sort of you know in da territory but yeah I don't know it just [TS]

00:12:27 ◼   ► seems like they belong to go I don't know if I talked about this little the [TS]

00:12:33 ◼   ► last week but I wonder what you think two is in past years they've always [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► shipped new iPhone and iPad hardware with a new version of the OS although [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► sometimes iPad would come out with like the original iPad came out with like iOS [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► 3.2 or something like that right [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► yeah but the iPhone has always coincided new iPhone hardware has always coincided [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► with the new diet or release of iOS and newfound has never been able to be like [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► if you buy a new iPhone 5 today you can't put out I was five on it [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► trade only run I was so presumably the new I have any new iPhone or iPad comes [TS]

00:13:17 ◼   ► out this year would only run iOS 7 great but I can't help but wonder if they have [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► a backup plan that just in case [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► Iowa seven isn't ready to ship in October yeah maybe they would ship the [TS]

00:13:33 ◼   ► new phone with iOS 6 and say look I was seven is closing you know it'll be a [TS]

00:13:39 ◼   ► free update for everybody [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► which would kind of be embarrassing for us I couldn't see it honestly I couldn't [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► see them doing that I could see them actually see them delaying the release [TS]

00:13:49 ◼   ► of the iPhone until I was really ready and you know instead of releasing it [TS]

00:13:53 ◼   ► with iOS 6 just because you know they try to 2007 early but I don't really [TS]

00:13:59 ◼   ► know how they make decisions that Apple but I can't really see them doing that [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► because they try to 2007 so you know here made a big deal about it and it's [TS]

00:14:10 ◼   ► you know it's even made its way [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► want is to ship the new hardware and a viola 7 be ready [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► yeah I just feel like this is the one year where if if if there is not going [TS]

00:15:28 ◼   ► to be ready in time this is the year because the changes so truly dramatic [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► yeah it is so huge it's so different I'm really impressed that they have done [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► such a monumental overhaul in such a short amount of time it's incredible [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► when you work on individual products you know how long it takes you just think [TS]

00:15:48 ◼   ► you know you kind of get a sense of how how much work it would be to change at [TS]

00:22:45 ◼   ► useful those tiny tiny thumbnails in years can be caused you pick out some [TS]

00:22:50 ◼   ► spots shots and some you're not going to be able to shoot something in the [TS]

00:22:54 ◼   ► darkroom it's gonna be black but there are some like if you shoot like 10 shots [TS]

00:25:31 ◼   ► setting for higher contrast backgrounds which I had turned on [TS]

00:25:34 ◼   ► urgently to turn that off as sort of it's like well this is it the way that [TS]

00:25:38 ◼   ► people are going to see it [TS]

00:25:39 ◼   ► and stop bothering me as much as it was originally but it's still a special in [TS]

00:25:54 ◼   ► like wow that's really like and then even just like reading mail and it's [TS]

00:25:58 ◼   ► it's just really liked and kind of hard to read and i feel like i wud legibility [TS]

00:26:05 ◼   ► is so hugely important and I know and screen you see a lot more and and things [TS]

00:26:10 ◼   ► that wouldn't work on another screens work can work here but yeah I feel like [TS]

00:26:37 ◼   ► in the nineties and you could print these grayscale radians that looked good [TS]

00:26:41 ◼   ► because the odds were finally well then we are used them everything we designed [TS]

00:26:47 ◼   ► everything had a gradient colored background and then within a year or two [TS]

00:26:51 ◼   ► we all realize my god we're way over using these gradients things and I feel [TS]

00:26:58 ◼   ► like that's where UI design got to from the iPhone through now is is sort of you [TS]

00:27:06 ◼   ► know we can do these incredibly cool facts but then we use them too much and [TS]

00:27:12 ◼   ► I for sure but I think that if you follow that I still think that's right i [TS]

00:27:17 ◼   ► think you can say well how many people in print design used Helvetica light as [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► the body rates no not really done there no I'd say try to think of a magazine [TS]

00:27:29 ◼   ► that you read that uses a fun as fine as Helvetica light and I i can't think of [TS]

00:27:36 ◼   ► any i mean maybe some advertising you know like you know it does have a sort [TS]

00:27:53 ◼   ► out letters i think is distinctly as it as it could with another I've always [TS]

00:27:58 ◼   ► thought of it as a sort of a display fund and by West display find headlines [TS]

00:28:05 ◼   ► or subheads big rate for signage yes title not for body copy right can you [TS]

00:28:15 ◼   ► pick a fun for body copy and let's face it like reading your email is you know [TS]

00:28:20 ◼   ► that's a that's a good use for a fun that you know is supposed to be readable [TS]

00:28:24 ◼   ► that's where you know who could typographer 'he's fun designers they [TS]

00:28:31 ◼   ► make choices that maybe aren't as a statically pleasing but are more about [TS]

00:28:36 ◼   ► the you know being a workhorse and doing the right thing for the user to make it [TS]

00:28:43 ◼   ► legible as opposed to making it beautiful it's a trade off and you want [TS]

00:28:48 ◼   ► to see you wanted to be both but yeah of course but legibility has to come first [TS]

00:28:54 ◼   ► but if you're talking about about eighty you know and I do think you know I don't [TS]

00:29:01 ◼   ► mind the light as much as some people I know you you'd linked to quoted Eric [TS]

00:29:05 ◼   ► speak German yeah very much opposed to it [TS]

00:29:09 ◼   ► yeah I think he's a little biased though because he's actually think it's great i [TS]

00:29:13 ◼   ► mean he's obviously a great designer and it created type designer and overall you [TS]

00:29:17 ◼   ► know i'd have never met him but I'm a big fan of his work [TS]

00:29:21 ◼   ► bond famously he's sort of maybe not against Helvetica but he sort of has an [TS]

00:29:26 ◼   ► antipathy for Helvetica definitely yes he does he's he's he articulates the [TS]

00:29:33 ◼   ► case against Helvetica as well as anybody in the movie Helvetica gary has [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► amazing and fantastic documentary yes and that's anyway [TS]

00:29:43 ◼   ► Helvetica yeah so speaking in a little bit you know a little bit bias in that [TS]

00:29:50 ◼   ► regard but I think of regard to light in particular he's pretty spot-on now [TS]

00:29:55 ◼   ► yeah it was as corruption unreadable carpet right he also said I know shit [TS]

00:30:09 ◼   ► storm in the little like YouTube clip which I actually like in a comment [TS]

00:30:15 ◼   ► someone had translated what he said but I actually just started watching it and [TS]

00:30:19 ◼   ► it's kind of like having aphasia we like you recognize a word every now and then [TS]

00:30:24 ◼   ► in the use of like you know english words are intermittently but anyway I [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► was fun it is true and I just I think that overall it is going to be seen in [TS]

00:30:37 ◼   ► hindsight as a trendy aspect of Iowa seven and the matter I think no matter [TS]

00:30:42 ◼   ► what they do between now and when they ship comfort I don't they make maybe the [TS]

00:30:47 ◼   ► dial back some of it which would be great but yeah I think overall though [TS]

00:30:51 ◼   ► it's still going to be a lot of Helvetica ultralight in in this place [TS]

00:30:57 ◼   ► cases in light I think in years come by way too trendy direction yes I hope and [TS]

00:31:10 ◼   ► I hope that it is that it changes in the future that Apple to in their marketing [TS]

00:31:18 ◼   ► materials and ever since I was 7 has come out of noticed it more [TS]

00:31:22 ◼   ► has been using a lot more of a very light strict version of Mary and their [TS]

00:31:29 ◼   ► own for their own stuff you know their own marketing materials and at first I [TS]

00:31:34 ◼   ► thought that they knew they started using it I think with like the MacBook [TS]

00:31:37 ◼   ► Air or something like that where it was meant the actual light weight of the [TS]

00:31:41 ◼   ► font was meant to convey the lightness of the actual hardware product you are [TS]

00:31:45 ◼   ► buying but it looks like they're using it everywhere and it's sort of almost [TS]

00:31:50 ◼   ► feel like it's a fad that's infected Apple is this desire to go with these [TS]

00:31:55 ◼   ► really light stroke versions of that may be true and I mean that it does just [TS]

00:32:01 ◼   ► really mirror the hardware really well but yeah that's not always always useful [TS]

00:32:09 ◼   ► right now and I think that too because they keep it as you know now that I have [TS]

00:32:14 ◼   ► my old iphone4s running I was seven and I'm trying to use it during the day I [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► was in court for a better wifi so much as I can to get used to it and then I [TS]

00:32:24 ◼   ► switched my iPhone 5 and every time I pick up the five oh my god it's so thin [TS]

00:32:27 ◼   ► and light back to day one and I'm shocked at how much it yeah but I kind [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► of feel like if they went with Helvetica of regular or irregular yeah whatever [TS]

00:32:40 ◼   ► I'm not gonna say that I don't care about the difference but you know what I [TS]

00:32:44 ◼   ► mean for body text just for like the body of a chat messages I don't think [TS]

00:32:53 ◼   ► that it would ruin the fact no not at all I think there would be really [TS]

00:32:58 ◼   ► helpful and they do so they do use regular and actually so they have like [TS]

00:33:02 ◼   ► dynamic type they they tried to as as they use it at smaller sizes they they [TS]

00:33:07 ◼   ► thicken it up but I feel like they didn't do that and like the they don't [TS]

00:33:12 ◼   ► think enough it at sort of normal reading sizes I guess I mean I think [TS]

00:33:16 ◼   ► it's I think it's a cool thing that they do and that there but they're aware of [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► that but just raining there would be great for things like male yeah and I've [TS]

00:33:27 ◼   ► even seen people be confused about what that setting does where I've seen a [TS]

00:33:31 ◼   ► couple peoples think that the dynamic tight [TS]

00:33:34 ◼   ► saying is about making the tape thicker well as it as it gets smaller I just [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► like you just the way you know you've got a real I think it's only if you dial [TS]

00:33:43 ◼   ► it down to the smallest size than in some cases it will switch to a regular [TS]

00:33:48 ◼   ► way but for the most part you're still getting identical light size whereas I [TS]

00:33:55 ◼   ► and i think what's telling about the confusion people have over that is is [TS]

00:34:00 ◼   ► that I think a lot of people when they're faced with a greeting their mail [TS]

00:34:03 ◼   ► and I was seven they don't think this fonts too small they think that's want [TS]

00:34:07 ◼   ► to then it's too wispy yes it just doesn't read well and in the iTunes sort [TS]

00:34:14 ◼   ► of like the toolbar icons I mean they really reflect and not in a good way [TS]

00:34:20 ◼   ► either in my opinion things like to share icon of the bookmarks icon in [TS]

00:34:24 ◼   ► Safari so it has like the same weight as hell that accolade just looking at it [TS]

00:34:30 ◼   ► but it is also really hard to distinguish bookmarks I can I was like [TS]

00:34:36 ◼   ► what is that what is that supposed to be a didn't it didn't read as as a bookmark [TS]

00:34:40 ◼   ► icon at all it sort of took me like 10 seconds the person and that's happened [TS]

00:34:44 ◼   ► with a couple of things and you haven't even just just looking at the the icons [TS]

00:34:50 ◼   ► like right now I'm in male looking at the iPhones and they they definitely [TS]

00:34:53 ◼   ► match and they look balanced with with the typography noted but they don't do [TS]

00:34:57 ◼   ► not pretty right hands are nicer to me yeah I don't like that style anyway I've [TS]

00:35:05 ◼   ► expressed it is it to me I think the icon should sort of have the same feel [TS]

00:35:09 ◼   ► that Helvetica as they have the sake you said they have the same stroke with this [TS]

00:35:12 ◼   ► how come they don't look like if Helvetica had a a new Unicode glyph for [TS]

00:35:19 ◼   ► iOS sharing it wouldn't look like a box and the box at the arrow is it funky [TS]

00:35:27 ◼   ► I really liked their old share icon actually you know and and then maybe [TS]

00:35:32 ◼   ► that would be too heavy for this new overhaul of a system but you know [TS]

00:35:38 ◼   ► something in between [TS]

00:35:39 ◼   ► yeah this is again it's it's like a little too far [TS]

00:35:43 ◼   ► yeah and I think that they actually that's one of those things were actually [TS]

00:35:47 ◼   ► and redraw the icon but they've gone too far [TS]

00:35:50 ◼   ► it is still a narrow coming out of the box but I feel like it's so different [TS]

00:35:55 ◼   ► than the old one and it doesn't have to be this will be like you mean to the [TS]

00:36:01 ◼   ► you're sending it sort of alludes to pushing sending whereas this one is just [TS]

00:36:07 ◼   ► sort of going straight up which I know people sort of developed an [TS]

00:36:12 ◼   ► understanding of what that glickman and it doesn't have the energy the other one [TS]

00:36:17 ◼   ► does or sort of the action I don't think that this looks like the same thing [TS]

00:36:21 ◼   ► know you'd only know it because it's in the same spot and most of these apps [TS]

00:36:26 ◼   ► exactly where is it on its own I don't think people would say that's the new [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► version of that icon rate and the bookmarks one is another example of that [TS]

00:36:34 ◼   ► to ya book lady so yeah so your agreement with you there are icons I [TS]

00:36:48 ◼   ► could here's another one that I picked up and I it was suddenly bothering me [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► but I was seven but when I read your article I was like yes yes this is [TS]

00:36:58 ◼   ► killing which is in like alerts and dialog box type things they they used [TS]

00:37:06 ◼   ► older texts and may not even be have a cold I think it's just Helvetica regular [TS]

00:37:12 ◼   ► but it looks like it's just regular old compared to connote the defaults button [TS]

00:37:18 ◼   ► yeah that's what he can to me before you could tell based on position but also [TS]

00:37:27 ◼   ► just based on the look of the buttons like one stood out you know a lot like [TS]

00:37:33 ◼   ► the hold button was read or or black depending on what kind of inaction she [TS]

00:37:38 ◼   ► you've got but yeah you there's no there's no way to tell me what the least [TS]

00:37:42 ◼   ► destruction destructive option is like right away you have to like sort of just [TS]

00:37:46 ◼   ► look at it for a second and then you know like things pretty much they follow [TS]

00:37:49 ◼   ► the same pattern there in the same place isn't stuff and you interact with them [TS]

00:37:53 ◼   ► in the same way but they don't look the same I mean yeah there's not there's not [TS]

00:37:58 ◼   ► enough distinction [TS]

00:37:59 ◼   ► there to me i i [TS]

00:38:02 ◼   ► it confused me all along and I couldn't help but wonder if in some cases it was [TS]

00:38:07 ◼   ► just a bug because it's at an early version of the OS that they've won was [TS]

00:38:11 ◼   ► different then when she said that I kind of started seeing it yeah that's what [TS]

00:38:15 ◼   ► they mean they mean to go to the bold one by the fall in some cases it's the [TS]

00:38:20 ◼   ► safe option in other cases maybe it's not the safe option but it's like what [TS]

00:38:27 ◼   ► you would expect them to want to do ya like if you already clicked a trash can [TS]

00:38:31 ◼   ► icon you probably do want to delete this bold and cancel will be then share but [TS]

00:38:39 ◼   ► overall the effect though is to me it's it's it's an interesting idea and it was [TS]

00:38:43 ◼   ► worth trying but I think it's a complete failure because I feel like that's the [TS]

00:38:47 ◼   ► sort of thing like if you have two or three buttons in a dialog box you can [TS]

00:38:53 ◼   ► maybe play with the color of them but you can't play with the weight it it [TS]

00:38:57 ◼   ► just looks like you've made like programming error yeah yeah cuz look [TS]

00:39:03 ◼   ► accidental like if I have three articles on my website and all three of the same [TS]

00:39:09 ◼   ► type of articles were then they should all use the same mantra the headline and [TS]

00:39:13 ◼   ► one of them is using a different font for the headline it looks like a mistake [TS]

00:39:17 ◼   ► like I said the wrong class on the element or something like that that's [TS]

00:39:21 ◼   ► what these buttons and it sticks out of me [TS]

00:39:25 ◼   ► rather than get used to it as the weeks go on it sticks out to me more and more [TS]

00:39:29 ◼   ► as time goes on and I think I see the logic though of why they did it that way [TS]

00:39:34 ◼   ► which is you can kind of backwards engineer which is like Mac OS 10 the [TS]

00:39:39 ◼   ► default button pulses [TS]

00:39:42 ◼   ► blue and it has like animation to it and then you know that if you hit the Return [TS]

00:39:47 ◼   ► key on your keyboard you that's the button that's right that's right and [TS]

00:39:53 ◼   ► then on iOS they don't have returned key so you know you kinda have to just [TS]

00:39:57 ◼   ► happened so they would just make like the default one blue and the other ones [TS]

00:40:00 ◼   ► gray typically something like that they would use the background color of the [TS]

00:40:05 ◼   ► button [TS]

00:40:06 ◼   ► so now they've got done away with backgrounds of buttons so they had [TS]

00:40:11 ◼   ► nothing else to play with and so they said well why don't we try making a bold [TS]

00:40:15 ◼   ► right it doesn't work for me either its just not it's not distinct enough and [TS]

00:40:21 ◼   ► like you said you had to just different enough that it looks wrong but it [TS]

00:40:28 ◼   ► doesn't jump out at you like I want to be able to tell at a glance which which [TS]

00:40:31 ◼   ► button is canceled and you know I do know that cancels going to be the one on [TS]

00:40:35 ◼   ► the bottom usually but yeah I just wanted to stand out more I don't want to [TS]

00:40:40 ◼   ► have to really parse these are sort of like new get to a point where you you're [TS]

00:40:45 ◼   ► not actually been reading the buttons you just want to know what they do and [TS]

00:40:49 ◼   ► say and and a lot of that is visual and so no sort of you have to rely more on [TS]

00:40:54 ◼   ► the text and it takes just like slightly longer I would almost prefer if they [TS]

00:41:00 ◼   ► want to stick to their extreme minimal guns I would almost prefer if they did [TS]

00:41:06 ◼   ► less to differentiate them and only use let's say the placement of the buttons [TS]

00:41:11 ◼   ► to to confer which one is the default so if it's a stack of vertical stack of you [TS]

00:41:18 ◼   ► often get on the iPhone topped the top one is the fall and the bottom line is [TS]

00:41:24 ◼   ► canceled and they all have the same weight Helvetica whether its regular [TS]

00:41:29 ◼   ► whether it's all true just make them all the same and it's like a two buttons [TS]

00:41:35 ◼   ► left-right the right one is always defaults and the left one is always the [TS]

00:41:40 ◼   ► canceled or the equivalent you know but make them the same way and just let the [TS]

00:41:44 ◼   ► consistency of their placement be the the emphasis even though there's [TS]

00:46:11 ◼   ► here's the thing I have thought about it this week and I haven't seen anybody [TS]

00:46:17 ◼   ► talk about it but I poked around Apple's site and as far as I can tell that icon [TS]

00:46:23 ◼   ► grid is not anything that you can download or at least not yet [TS]

00:46:30 ◼   ► like I came out of WWDC thinking that this grid was going to be right there on [TS]

00:46:36 ◼   ► the iOS Dev Center and you do you know how to design icons for Iowa seven and [TS]

00:46:40 ◼   ► give it to you in a PSD format or some other format PDF or something and then [TS]

00:46:45 ◼   ► you could start drawing your app icons on this great bus far as I can tell that [TS]

00:46:49 ◼   ► group doesn't exist only ones I could find her ones that people out there have [TS]

00:46:54 ◼   ► recreated on their own right [TS]

00:46:57 ◼   ► yeah I haven't found it as as a thing that Apple has produced it either but [TS]

00:47:02 ◼   ► you know I'm sure that their reworking the Interface Guidelines and hopefully [TS]

00:47:07 ◼   ► that'll be part of it all that's what is it just something we're waiting for or [TS]

00:47:13 ◼   ► is this just an explanation of their icons system and they wouldn't mention [TS]

00:47:20 ◼   ► it if they well you know I was sort of really good leader but I don't know I [TS]

00:47:28 ◼   ► could be wrong I was too but now I'm not sure I don't know because the whole [TS]

00:47:37 ◼   ► reason I went looking for it is I got it in my head that if you took it and [TS]

00:47:45 ◼   ► started over laying it on certain Apple products like base stations and like the [TS]

00:47:50 ◼   ► Apple TV that that the hardware already conforms to the same grid interesting [TS]

00:47:57 ◼   ► but I couldn't get that far because I couldn't tell somebody smart out there [TS]

00:48:01 ◼   ► if you want to get a mention on [TS]

00:48:04 ◼   ► fireball that would be a good project this week is fine that grid and then put [TS]

00:48:09 ◼   ► it on top of products like Apple TV and base station and all the other round [TS]

00:48:15 ◼   ► square hardware products they haven't see it see if they fit you believe in [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► grid-based designed you think that there's something to that I guess Jony [TS]

00:48:25 ◼   ► ive is committed to it and if my theory is right that the hardware fits to the [TS]

00:48:29 ◼   ► same grid that the icons do then you know I think it works it works for a lot [TS]

00:48:36 ◼   ► of things things I don't know I definitely mostly go on I but it depends [TS]

00:48:43 ◼   ► on what I'm doing and sort of like the more information and sort of data that I [TS]

00:48:48 ◼   ► want to show the more I want to use a grid but the more like about designing [TS]

00:48:51 ◼   ► say like a Mac app icon then it's I don't use it at all it just sort of like [TS]

00:48:56 ◼   ► drawn a shape that I think looks nice but if I'm sort of planning out what [TS]

00:49:02 ◼   ► happens gonna look like a lot more likely to use a great and just sort of [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► yes said how am I going to divide up this window and two thirds and more and [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► more than that you know how are things going to lay out and I think it just [TS]

00:49:16 ◼   ► depends on the kind of design that you're doing that you're showing I like [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► the idea of grids and when I see people who'd who are big supporters of [TS]

00:49:28 ◼   ► grid-based last like we've been a great book on the web based design and I see [TS]

00:49:35 ◼   ► the grid overlaid on top of the result and I see the house there's the system [TS]

00:49:40 ◼   ► and play i think thats awesome I love and I'm always impressed but whenever I [TS]

00:49:45 ◼   ► designed it myself I just go with what looks great [TS]

00:49:48 ◼   ► yeah my favorite example is the daring where the during fireball logo is on the [TS]

00:49:53 ◼   ► during fireball website no logic as it doesn't really fit with either of the [TS]

00:49:59 ◼   ► two columns underneath I just kept moving it left and right until I felt [TS]

00:50:03 ◼   ► like it looked like it was balance between the gap between the two ya done [TS]

00:50:07 ◼   ► and that's absolutely there's no way you can try the kind of grit over that but [TS]

00:50:14 ◼   ► once I had it I thought that stuff [TS]

00:50:17 ◼   ► we have this is called grid systems and it's it's pretty good I haven't actually [TS]

00:50:25 ◼   ► read the whole thing and I love that I like again the I like the concept but [TS]

00:50:30 ◼   ► it's not something I do everytime definitely by any means we take one more [TS]

00:52:51 ◼   ► full sized window and now you can use it [TS]

00:52:54 ◼   ► the icon is very few apps thanks that's what I was really going to design is it [TS]

00:53:06 ◼   ► is it quickly turning pass 800 I think so too I mean I look at it now I'm like [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► oh this is way too like the week it came out I want to redesign it and it's too [TS]

00:53:17 ◼   ► late Chinese but yeah I definitely designed the icon till the app itself [TS]

00:53:23 ◼   ► because that's one thing but when I'm sort of shuffling through my Mac apps I [TS]

00:53:32 ◼   ► wanted to I want each icon to sort of Jaar memory of sort of of what the APIs [TS]

00:53:37 ◼   ► and when it doesn't and what it's going to do so wanted to just really tie them [TS]

00:53:41 ◼   ► together so you know where I feel like we're going to be left with an unusual [TS]

00:53:50 ◼   ► situation where come under no 34234 months after I was seven ships and most [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► most actively developed apps have caught up to the highest 7 designed trends that [TS]

00:54:04 ◼   ► will have a lot more apps left on the Mac that look like iOS as we know it and [TS]

00:54:11 ◼   ► fewer on iOS yeah a lot of a lot of the stuff that I see like NPA's appears so [TS]

00:54:19 ◼   ► to me it looks like something a nap on the Mac that has drawn a lot of [TS]

00:54:23 ◼   ► inspiration [TS]

00:54:24 ◼   ► from iOS chair right so it's like there's like a nice little glossy finish [TS]

00:54:32 ◼   ► to the levels that makes it look like there's a piece of glass over I can't [TS]

00:54:36 ◼   ► remember since the fight that on the Mac before I was great and letting it [TS]

00:54:41 ◼   ► directly came from product illustrations of iPhone and iMacs and MacBooks and [TS]

00:54:48 ◼   ► stuff but they started doing that you know probably around the same time not [TS]

00:54:52 ◼   ► really sure when that sort of gloss thing came out in an Apple product [TS]

00:54:58 ◼   ► illustrations but it's definitely not only from the do you think that there [TS]

00:55:05 ◼   ► were thats do you think that the Mac is gonna keep this stuff do you think the [TS]

00:55:08 ◼   ► Mac is heading for an Iowa 17 think I think actually the mech will just keep [TS]

00:55:14 ◼   ► sort of trailing Iowa sand that way in so we'll start seeing more flat caps and [TS]

00:55:21 ◼   ► it'll sort of I think I S is sort of leading the design trends and in the [TS]

00:55:27 ◼   ► mecca sort of following along behind and doing its own thing to have in its [TS]

00:55:30 ◼   ► branching off and going at it and its own way sort of separately but yeah I [TS]

00:55:36 ◼   ► definitely think you'll see left you more prison warden stationed at UPS is [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► that had become a big thing but it'll start to trail off now to buy one thing [TS]

00:55:49 ◼   ► I would love to see them do and you know I got we did this and people panic [TS]

00:55:53 ◼   ► nearly always hope not but I you know treated something effective you realize [TS]

00:55:56 ◼   ► that come next year Johnny Ives the same team that brought you I S seven is gonna [TS]

00:56:00 ◼   ► do a new version of Mac OS 10 I don't know that that's true yeah but I [TS]

00:56:07 ◼   ► wouldn't be surprised I wouldn't be surprised if it went one what one [TS]

00:56:10 ◼   ► extreme or the other [TS]

00:56:11 ◼   ► the one extreme would be a radical Iowa seven style jewelry design of a Mac OS [TS]

00:56:17 ◼   ► 10 I would think a lot along the lines of what we see with Iowa so just within [TS]

00:56:24 ◼   ► Windows as opposed to fullscreen things [TS]

00:56:26 ◼   ► or B they kind of just leave it alone and and say that you know that this sort [TS]

00:56:32 ◼   ► of grave platinum look that we've gotten to it is sort of the end of the you know [TS]

00:56:39 ◼   ► the end of the ten years of development of establishing a style for it and [TS]

00:56:44 ◼   ► that's what it is [TS]

00:56:45 ◼   ► yeah I hope that it doesnt system I feel like that would be stagnating and it [TS]

00:56:51 ◼   ► would be kind of sad you know so I'm not sure if I mean maybe it won't go as you [TS]

00:56:59 ◼   ► know drastically in the direction of seven but I hope it doesn't stay the [TS]

00:57:02 ◼   ► same my guess is it won't lie I really that it won't stay the same as that and [TS]

00:57:08 ◼   ► I do think something semi I'm a bad bet a little bit of money but like five [TS]

00:57:12 ◼   ► bucks something radical becoming for next year after the same team that [TS]

00:57:18 ◼   ► brought you I was seven is eventually finished with iOS 7 you know has time to [TS]

00:57:23 ◼   ► turn their attention elsewhere [TS]

00:57:24 ◼   ► yeah I would not be surprised but it's kinda striking to me that you know it's [TS]

00:57:30 ◼   ► it's cool if you're a magnum want the Mac you don't want Apple to forget about [TS]

00:57:34 ◼   ► the Mac it's cool that there's average has a lot of new stuff they've cleaned a [TS]

00:57:38 ◼   ► lot of time in the Keno to it it's not an afterthought but in terms of visual [TS]

00:57:43 ◼   ► style nothing has changed ya know which is it's fine for now I'm excited about [TS]

00:57:50 ◼   ► stuff and maverick's but yeah I think it'll get visually updated eventually I [TS]

00:57:57 ◼   ► don't know I can't say if it'll be as drastic as I S seven or maybe just [TS]

00:58:01 ◼   ► ordered to remain in between but definitely hope it'll get at least a bit [TS]

00:58:07 ◼   ► of a facelift [TS]

00:58:09 ◼   ► the other thing maybe I'm off by a year maybe it's a two years out thing because [TS]

00:58:15 ◼   ► I do think this is true that it's not a coincidence that this radical redesign [TS]

00:58:23 ◼   ► of Iowa 7 has happened after almost all I was 70 iOS devices have gone to retina [TS]

00:58:30 ◼   ► displays whereas retina displays for the Mac or still an oddity [TS]

00:58:37 ◼   ► two models to MacBook Pros and those are not the most popular MacBooks the right [TS]

00:58:43 ◼   ► areas are right that's a really good point they couldn't get away with the [TS]

00:58:47 ◼   ► West penis definitely I just a standard non right now display back at ya and I [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► think that would hold up well at all like the physics and the animation in [TS]

00:59:01 ◼   ► stuff like that [TS]

00:59:02 ◼   ► that'd be cool I would be totally cool and you know you can't help but think [TS]

00:59:07 ◼   ► that you know if it's the prototype of the future [TS]

00:59:10 ◼   ► the new Mac Pro if it's you know it's John Siracusa describes it like the like [TS]

00:59:17 ◼   ► the race car makes it shows off technology [TS]

00:59:22 ◼   ► oh yeah it's going to be in the family sedan 67 years later it's clearly in [TS]

00:59:28 ◼   ► that direction is the new Mac Pro as in tired graphics card that's not even [TS]

00:59:32 ◼   ► meant to power displayed just to have a GPU available to software to do things [TS]

00:59:38 ◼   ► like you know animate shade I'd love to see Mac OS 10 get flatter one thing that [TS]

00:59:48 ◼   ► bothered me for ten years about is how big the drop however big hi how high the [TS]

00:59:55 ◼   ► drop shadow is between years and I think that's just to make it look super deep [TS]

01:00:01 ◼   ► to sort of implied that you can have a lot of Windows happening at once and [TS]

01:00:05 ◼   ► stacked on top of each other maybe I mean that's always been you know I think [TS]

01:00:09 ◼   ► they've started to get flatter me if you look at the newer scrollbars the last [TS]

01:00:14 ◼   ► two versions like they are not those big honkin always present scroll bars [TS]

01:00:21 ◼   ► anymore it's like they disappear they're they're really in in their totally flat [TS]

01:00:25 ◼   ► and they are they're only there when you when you start to move to fall anyway [TS]

01:00:33 ◼   ► yeah that's a good example of where it's really contra maybe the most gratuitous [TS]

01:00:38 ◼   ► Lee the headlight was out the last remaining vestige of the original [TS]

01:00:42 ◼   ► gratuitous macros 10.0 [TS]

01:00:44 ◼   ► and Annie replaced it with words probably the flattest thing in the [TS]

01:00:48 ◼   ► default system yeah yeah I would say probably isn't the funnest thing the [TS]

01:00:55 ◼   ► dizzy heights the implication of Z height distance between Windows though [TS]

01:00:59 ◼   ► as always been so preposterous on yeah they look like they're like three or [TS]

01:01:03 ◼   ► four inches away from each other [TS]

01:01:05 ◼   ► totally they they really do they're really really big whereas in the classic [TS]

01:01:10 ◼   ► Mac OS two digits drew like a one pixel gray line on the right side and bottom [TS]

01:01:16 ◼   ► side and that was all he needed was perfect but more like paper sheets of [TS]

01:01:21 ◼   ► paper that are stacked as opposed to that's a good analogy Yeah Yeah Yeah [TS]

01:01:28 ◼   ► right things is the implication of an awful lot of distance between windows [TS]

01:01:35 ◼   ► always has always bothered me I we're almost up for the hour but there's one [TS]

01:02:10 ◼   ► in and I did like a 45 minute talk just like an overview about user interface [TS]

01:02:15 ◼   ► design principles and and sort of what that means on iOS I talked about [TS]

01:02:19 ◼   ► patterns an anti patterns and had this bit about hugging the hague just telling [TS]

01:02:24 ◼   ► them you know to sort of embrace expected patterns as far as for problems [TS]

01:02:29 ◼   ► that have already been solved and they're actually really into it and [TS]

01:02:36 ◼   ► attention to sort of anything that an adult would be saying standing in the [TS]

01:02:40 ◼   ► front of the room but you have to have this this group of like 12 middle [TS]

01:02:44 ◼   ► schoolers being really interested in interface design was awesome and then [TS]

01:02:49 ◼   ► the biggest part of the whole thing was when I talked about you know get to in [TS]

01:02:55 ◼   ► 2007 because they were going to be working on iOS 6 I wanted to stick to [TS]

01:02:59 ◼   ► our I was six works and looks and just just user interface patterns in general [TS]

01:03:04 ◼   ► that sort of thing but it was great they were they were super into it and just [TS]
