iTunes 10 UI changes.
Apple announced iTunes 10 today, and after an unusual delay in actually releasing the application, we are now able to download it and examine what UI changes they’ve implemented this time round. It seems they are forever changing the style of iTunes – perhaps it is their testing bed for new designs; either way, it can often cause annoyance and frustration.
The biggest difference seems to be that they’ve removed almost all traces of color – not sure about that, it seems very bland now…
The new iTunes 10 icon.
New vertical traffic light buttons for expand/close/minimize
All icons have been grayed out… looks quite boring
New PING icon for iTunes Social side
The new AirPlay icon – replacing AirTunes
Even the iTunes Preferences have been desaturated.
What do you think of the new iTunes 10?
Icons.
Have you ever found yourself requiring some decent quality Adobe icons?
I did last night… and I could not find any anywhere! So I made them myself, and thought I’d share.
They are 300dpi, 600x600px images of InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop CS3 icons.
The Importance of Colour.
Have you ever stopped to think about how important the use of colour is within Logo’s and corporate branding?
And not only the colours, but the consistent use of them within public marketing?
I created this little game for you all, to see if you can guess the company purely on a colour scheme and the occasional help element. I’ll post the answers in a day or two but I think you’ll realise you’ve may have been brainwashed!
