Color Me Intrigued




Peter Alguacil on iOS 7



while the whole interface has depth and layers, there is no sign of that very common visual cue for depth: shadows.



and it isn’t about iOS “going flat.” My impression of the illumination metaphor (for lack of a better word) in iOS 7 is that the whole user interface is backlit, just like the physical device screen is. Hence, no shadows.


… In short, the interfaces from yesteryear have not acknowledged that the true light source of those pixels come from the back, not the front.

… Apple is treating iOS 7 as a more integral part of the device itself.
