| troy_s | That icon set I assume is the new Ubuntu look correct? | 18:51 |
| troy_s | Props if it is. Which I'm willing to bet it is. ;) | 18:51 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Confirm or deny? | 18:52 |
| thorwil | troy_s: in that case, i pick "or" | 18:53 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Hrm. You have seen it yes? | 18:53 |
| thorwil | no | 18:53 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Little bit of fluke, but I'm willing to wager money it's the target. | 18:53 |
| troy_s | Let's see if the bet turns out correct. | 18:54 |
| troy_s | The folder perpetuates that sort of legacy looking folder that I've never been a huge fan of, but alas, all in all quite tight if you look at the forest. | 18:55 |
| thorwil | the folders look blurry | 18:55 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Your eyes are crossed. | 18:56 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Pretty sure there will be much blah blah blah once they are released. | 18:57 |
| thorwil | that stuff makes me as excited as a tree in the forrest | 18:58 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Well... I guess I'd call the overall thing quite positve. Can't see any other way to describe it. | 18:58 |
| troy_s | I could probably say that "Egads they kept that damn rounded corner folder donkey from the early era" but that's really probably a minor bump. | 18:59 |
| troy_s | The postage stamp, albeit more mimesis of the banned-in-court variety, is well crafted. | 18:59 |
| troy_s | At least there is some semblance of craftsmanship in there. That's got to be positive thorwil, no? | 19:00 |
| thorwil | back when i experimented with translucent orange folders, i found it very hard to avoid dirty colors due the other side of the folder pretty much having to be grayish. this problem hasn't been solved, here | 19:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: That and the linear light fact unless you properly deal with it in compositing. You can never properly compose in sRGB. | 19:00 |
| thorwil | sure, everything that is not a folder looks much more convincing | 19:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: But really, still feels like a moot point. Would it be nice if there was some interesting design approach to abandon 1960 office folders? Hell yes. Will we see it? Uh... no. | 19:01 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I suspect Voldemort had a sizable impact on the look of that default folder. | 19:01 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It's got cliche and similar trends going on. | 19:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Cliche and tack. | 19:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: The earmarks of Voldemort. | 19:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: But again, as a whole, I can't see how you could make a case against it. | 19:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It's a vast leap forward from that outline, outline, outline, inset, outline, outline, outline, HUGE OUTLINE uh... project that shall remain nameless. | 19:03 |
| thorwil | troy_s: you can dance a tango around naming it, i guess everyone here knows who, anyway ;) | 19:03 |
| troy_s | thorwil: There are actually people that prefer the old brown paper bag icon too. _That_ utterly shocks me. But alas, I suppose that is more proof that the culture of aesthetic is pretty much busted. | 19:04 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Cute though. I wonder if it is the set. That's where my money is. Too many overlaps. | 19:04 |
| thorwil | http://vimeo.com/26633949 | 19:21 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Don't get it. | 19:26 |
| troy_s | thorwil: At all. | 19:26 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Head smack dont-get-it. | 19:27 |
| thorwil | troy_s: late in the video, they mention the setup causes a double image of the pen, so you see it both on the paper and in the open slot | 19:28 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I just am struck by the lack of "Why the hell" | 19:28 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Don't get it. At all. | 19:28 |
| thorwil | artistically, it's just tracing. but an interesting experiment regarding perception. if only that would be explained better, instead of this comment-salad | 19:31 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I guess I don't get it because it tends toward some notion that physiological mimesis is bliss, which in my estimation is just pure tripe. You get it a bit with motion pictures and such where some people become zealots of the 50mm lens to replicate the sensation of view blah blah. | 19:32 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Just makes me ill when I read that cruft or see the bubbling of it. | 19:32 |
| thorwil | troy_s: but, but ... physiological mimesis is the bee's knee! pure awesome, with only one down-side: not enough double outlines!! | 19:34 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Lulz. | 19:35 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Just take a photo and kill yourself. | 19:35 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Be done with it. | 19:35 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Yay bliss. | 19:35 |
