#skeumorphism — Public Fediverse posts

@BasicAppleGuy @siracusa I think this needs a bit of discussion about "master branding", vexillology, and so on

Like: What is the purpose? Bad flags are bad because they can't be seen from a distance, but most of all, can't be sketched by a child.

Master branding, (maybe just a trend?), it demonstrates that flexibility & variety comes WITH simplicity — the more complex your logo, the less you can do with it.

If you make colors optional, you now have the choice to add them back — different ones, for different contexts.

There's an entire scale of complexity — from alphabetic letters, to emoji, to skeumorphism

They all have their place?

This is amazing!!!

MOAR #skeumorphism PLOX!

@psyhackological

It is. I loved the #skeumorphism of iOS 1-6, though.

Sometimes I feel like #skeumorphism in #UI is a #DarkDesignPattern, that companies and projects will adjust the margins and paddings of elements to give you that "new UI' look out of pure protocol.

At some point you could probably create an animation of various generations of UI, where it will loop back to its original design - almost like the UI is pulsating, breathing, with various rounded, sharpened, shadowed and glowed variations of the exact same thing.

Remember #affordances? Good times. #ui #ux #interactiondesign #skeumorphism

Okay, just stop it.
Mind-blowing!

#macos' orginal 10.5 time machine's ui is fantastic. i feel a big thing we lost with the wholesale rejection of the craft and artistry of ui skeuomorphism is the idea of *emotional context*

you start time machine when you're fucked, when you're at a very low moment. you're panicking. you're blaming yourself. that fucking document was your future, your whole world, and you fucked it. but you remember time machine.

and everything else falls away. you see a galaxy of stars, letting you feel how small you are in the universe, how small your problems are. you are no longer trapped, you have all the space. and you just travel back in time, grab the thing you want, and then hop back to now, as if it never happened. "there you go”, it says, "there's nothing to worry about. there never was anything to worry about. now you run along.”

the current time machine interface has identical layout from a wireframe perspective. but it has no emotional context. it's a grey software tool.

@elkmovie @paul That would be awesome! Please bring back #skeumorphism and detail rich and non-flat UI!

Remember my Steam games list?
I put a bit more #skeumorphism into it :)

I miss #skeumorphism

Now that we have VisionOS, it would make sense to bring back skeuomorphic design into the UI to help it integrate with the pass through reality.

For the same reason that I like #skeumorphism, designing computer things to look and feel like real life things. Like the original iPhone interface, where the Notes app looked like a physical notepad, app backgrounds often looked like wood or paper, and page turns sounded like a turning page. I know some folks like the clean shiny look that they switched to after Jobs died, but I am not one of them.

IMO, #skeumorphic designs are relaxing to the eye. Organic, in a shiny online, tech world.

it's been a while.

#skeumorphism will be making a come-back. mark my words.

How does that make you feel?
I reseted my old MacBook and was welcomed by that aesthetic. It looks soo old, but it’s actually not that old (2014-2015).

Is your public health app even LEGIT? #UIdesign #Skeumorphism

GUIZE!

Just stumbled upon this #GarageBand screenshot from mid-2009.

LOOK AT THE #SKEUMORPHISM!!! 😭

VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOD GRAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!! 😭

Take your soulless flat UI and flush it!!

P.S. And here's how it looks now. Honestly not *terrible*, but yeah. No soul. :'(

Made more for the new games... And of course it had to be a floppy for Floppy Knights!

@multilingualchurch @royal

Yes, there's no really good replacement for a physical book.

eBooks during the era of #Skeumorphism got close, but now they're more abstract than ever. Not the same feel, by a long shot.

@MuseumShuffle @n0rthk1n9 thank you both! When playing around with icon designs I realized I miss #skeumorphism.

Let’s see how much skeumorphism I can put in the app 😄

It me - Teenage Skeuomorphic Desktop Designs #skeumorphism @Iconfactory https://maggieappleton.com/teenage-desktop

Look... Did I need to make the games that don't have a vertical image to look like cartridges? Or write a simplistic color/blend-mode randomizer for it? Or make them rotate on hover? Or make the others look like the Disc Box? Complete with glares?
No.
And so, that is PRECISELY why I am also adding random price stickers (normal, ripped, peeled) and tapes...
Because I can 😋

YASSS! #Skeumorphism was the bees knees wearing 80s neon leg warmers! hahahaha
