well, of course he has a point. but i do too: the new interface has drove everyone mad.
apart form the malfunctions observed and reported, i believe this new supply page is too irritating to the eye. F. Hundertwasser used to say "that heretic straight line irritates the eye", or something like that. i don't know the exact phrase he used to say. A personal experience on this concept: they built a new extreme, extra plus modern building in a city not very close to mine. It was oblique with lots of oblique and vertical lines in all directions. what an architect. he believed this is what a modern man does. when I was there in a taxi, the driver told me the car accident in this expressway has increased by 1500% since they built the building.
The point is that this page is visually too irritating, specially if there are several items listed. many straight lines and boxes interfere with the eye movement. the previous design was very clear, lots of white background to let the eye rest. this is of course not something i invented. this is a concept in art and design. overall the new look is beautiful when you look at it as a tourist, but the person who wants to concentrate and use the information gets mad. |
