Skeu It!

So long, and thanks for all the wooden, scotch-taped, leather-stitched, linen-backed fish

Hey all,

The end.

It’s been a fun 2012, filled with plenty of unnecessary UI chrome, arguments about the meaning of skeuomorphism (you’re probably wrong if you’re not going by Dan O’Hara’s definitions), and dumb predictions about the future of interfaces at Apple.

Best wishes for creative, original, intuitive, delightful ideas and design choices in the future, happy holidays, and thanks for stopping by this corner of the intertubes. I’m still around as @303 on Twitter and ADN if you need more useless opinions and interesting links in your life.

x0x,

I love that the sketches show a shadow under the floating pocket, making them more lovable like Frylock from ATHF
