Avoiding the Uncanny Valley of Interface Design
Just read this article from Francisco Inchauste that brought back a lot of solid design reminders and reinforcements:
What many of these designers don’t realize is that they are doing their client a disservice. Users don’t come to the site or open the application to stare at a UI. They come with needs to find certain content or to complete a task. They have other things they’d rather be doing like walking their dog. They aren’t designers and into the details of every pixel. They could care less if the text has the letterpress effect, unless it hinders their experience.
