Long gone are the days of having to create your own icons, but also gone are the frustrations associated with Google image search – all those wonderful results popping up in the search yet it’s impossible to find a high-res or vector equivalent, let alone one that is royalty free. Apparently, what our designer friends haven’t been telling us, is that for a number of years now, their iconography has been handed to them on a silver platter! Well, not quite, but things have been looking up since the launch of this graphic arts library back in 2010. You may not have heard of the noun project, though you see the results of it everywhere you look. If you’re not a designer, then chances are you haven’t been let in on this little secret But most importantly (I think) Scott is one of the founders of The Noun Project. One of my favourites was Scott Thomas, famous on a number of fronts including being the creative director for the Obama Presidential Campaign in 2008. I attended Web Directions South last week and was delighted to listen to a number of fantastic speakers.
And there are also those among us who like to set them. There are plenty of designers out there who can follow trends. What will we be doing as soon as we’ve finished upgrading all our websites to be responsive, flattened all our designs and finished info-graphing ourselves silly? On the other hand, are we working towards ensuring more standards are applied across our designs? With so many devices and appliances out there with screens these days, and a whole generation now grown up with the internet – is our understanding of interface design reaching new heights? One can only guess at what tomorrow’s trends will be. We’ve all stumbled across an old website, from barely three or four years past… gasping in horror at the screen, “what were we thinking?” Today’s most wonderfully hip, pixel perfect design will be out on the trash heap before you know it. Just when you think you’ve nailed the perfect design, some bright spark comes up with a new idea or a new technology and suddenly your world is flipped on its head.
