Subjective-C: Studying Beautiful Design

Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:29:21 -0700

Thanks to ProductHunt.co I’ve been made aware of a site that embodies the passion for incredible design. Subjective-C, a wonderful word play on the software language that iOS apps are written in – Objective-C, is a site that finds little details of apps where the designers spent a tremendous amount of time to perfect a small detail.

These types of details enhance the user experience, though many people will never even explicitly notice them. The site is new, but hopefully will grow quickly. There are many apps that deserve the recognition and designers/developers that deserve the recognition for the time and passion they spent sweating the details.

Some Things Cannot Be Faked (Hint: Samsung)

Samsung isn’t exactly know for their design prowess or their honesty. They’ve been caught paying people to leave fake negative reviews on competitor’s products, they’ve been caught rigging their devices to perform better on benchmarks than they do in real life, and they’ve been caught stealing design cues from Apple (though rarely nicely implemented).

Side note: everyone in tech steals things from everyone else. There are a limited number of layouts, gestures, and features. There will be overlap. Don’t read into that one too much, I couldn’t resist posting a link to that Tumblr page.
