This post is for both of you. For designers, this will serve as a good reminder of what we need to pay attention to. For non-designers, it will help you understand the shift from dimensional to flat design and what it implies on a technical level.
You are directly responsible for what you put into the world. Yet every day designers all over the world work on projects without giving any thought or consideration to the impact that work has on the world around them. This needs to change.
This is a great video about the way our brains make decisions, which I discovered whilst reading the book 'Seductive Interaction Design' by Stephen P. Anderson.
Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.
