Live Search Design: Too many cooks? | |
|
||
| Time: 15:47 EST/20:47 GMT | News Source: LiveSide | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

A new blog entry on the Live Search blog from Evan Malahy, Designer, Live Search describes the “guiding principles for this latest version of Live Search” as Simple and powerful. Human. Fast. And maybe indeed, the new look lives up to that. However out here in the world, we don’t get to see design concepts, or PowerPoint presentations, or get to sit in on design reviews. We only see what is presented to us. So when new looks appear and disappear with no warning or explanation, when elements of designs long gone by still linger, and when a different set of “guiding principles” seems to be in place depending on what Windows Live page we visit, things become less simple, and certainly less powerful. This is a sampling of the current state of Live Search pages, all taken in the space of a few minutes. While none of these pages is offensive or poorly designed, is it a common experience? | ||
