I wasn’t really a fan of this video from the beginning. Maybe it was Edward Tufte’s monotone voice, but I just didn’t love his style. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of some of the suggestions he offered up; such as adding more details in the weather and stock market apps.
He described the stock market interface as ‘cartoony’ and while I understand what he’s saying, I also like that about the iPhone. I think it makes it feel less business-y and appeals to a larger audience.
I do understand a lot of what Tufte is saying about changing the border around pictures and things like that. Overall, his analysis was interesting and thoughtful
