Beautiful App Design: Yahoo Weather

Strong interface design is one of the most crucial aspects of a digital product. A great design can win awards, grab attention, and guide users into digital paradise.

It took me a good bit of time to find my place, but I love designing for screens, and I love seeing the great design work others have created on the screens I use.

Yahoo has recently begun rebranding itself, albeit somewhat subtly. They have started simplifying (both in terms of aesthetics as well products offered), redesigned their homepage and mail app, and released a brand new weather app for iOS.

And let me say, it’s beautiful. It’s user friendly. It’s really awesome.

Unlike other Yahoo products, the iOS Yahoo Weather app shares exactly what’s users want: weather information.

With the rise of the digital design age along with the rise of design blogs, I have noticed something that makes me cringe. No longer does anyone talk about the creative process. It honestly makes me feel pretty upset. Great design doesn’t come from a machine. Great design comes from the human mind, and that is one thing that many design blogs do not teach. Continue reading

Design is Beautiful

Design is BeautifulI like to think that some of the ideas I have are unique. I like to think of things and hope I’m the only one who has ever thought of them.  I also think, and hope, many of the ideas that I have are shared by others.

These ideas sometimes are a side effect of day dreaming. Goals, hopes, and dreams for the future. Not just goals, hopes, and dreams for myself. For the world. I have them for the entire human race.
