UX Rookie: Evolution of the WatchThis movie page

uxrookie:

Since WatchThis launched, I made a lot of changes to the movie page.

I like to keep the number of pages to a minimum. When we discuss new features with Kevin we always evaluate the impact on the site in terms of interface: how many pages will have to be changed and how many pages will have to be added. It’s often too many.

Alex started a new blog where he explains the interfaces he builds. You should follow it.

The Death of Files

Dustin Curtis:

Mere mortals don’t think of things on their computers as “files.” People think about digital representations of things the same way they think about real physical things: they think about photos, videos, text documents, articles, and people. A “file” on a computer is just a universal container for one of those things.

Someone approved this idea. Think about that.

13 video player UIs in 24 hours

I don’t get why every video player UI designer insists on having a button for volume control. Who uses that?

Realism in UI Design

Lukas Mathis:

Graphical user interfaces are full of symbols. Symbols need to be reduced to their essence. This helps avoid cluttering the user interface with meaningless distractions, and makes it easier for people to «read» the symbol and figure out the meaning of an interface element. Realistic details can get in the way of what you’re trying to communicate to your users.

The Apple Tablet Interface Must Be Like This

Jesus Diaz:

Some people want the Apple Tablet to run Mac OS X’s user interface. Others think its UI will be something exotic. Both camps are wrong: The iPhone started a UI revolution, and the tablet is just step two. Here’s why.

The best article I’ve read about The Tablet UI. Even about tablets UI.
