05. Ironic Design

from UX Files · host Tory Martin, Jon Pope, Jon Eckert

On this episode, we’re taking a second look at the design of Apple’s Big Sur icons. Has Apple lost its way? We’ll also explore how background color, spacing, and border styling can lead to an odd visual phenomenon in which elements that are technically the same height look different. Finally, we will discuss the whether designers should use the much-maligned hamburger menu.
