Hair Fare
My friend always claims she can tell if someone is Asian before they turn around, but how?
Is this some kid of joke? Hair, of course! Asian people’s hair looks very notably different than white or black people’s hair.
Hell, I can tell if someone is (Asian) Indian or non-Indian Asian before they turn around, even if I cannot see their skin.
It’s not even hard.
No Apo
A lot of people want you to apologize to them for why they suck. I refuse to do it. To those same people, not excusing their failures makes you a bully.
Still not apologizing.
Iconic
Where do they go to find dipshits like this?
Basic UI: A menu entry that includes text and a visual element (photo, icon, symbol) is more distinguishable and can be identified more quickly than one with only one of those items.
It seems we’ve just chosen to ignore 50+ years of UI/UX research and lessons and sprint headlong towards the clown crap this crappy clown wants. I cannot understand it. He’s simply wrong. Not as a guess or a preference or an opinion, but just objectively incorrect about how human brains, vision systems and UI/UX work and what they’re even for.
Icons and/or symbols increase the distinguishability and legibility even if the icon isn’t by itself enough to know what a menu items does. People do not do their homework anymore and they don’t know anything. It’s all just unwarranted guesses and out of left field completely-unresearched assumptions.
From my perspective, no matter what a lot of people’s IQ actually is, most people seem to have the intelligence level of a lead-poisoned toddler. Are people even trying anymore? Doesn’t appear so.
