Why I make screens
So it’s partly because I used to be a graphic designer and no matter what I try to do, I still have an inordinate obsession with type and fonts and where words go and all that. But it’s also because you need to show things to a human. More importantly you need to show things, your idea, your application, your whatever, to a human and humans like to look at pretty things. You can produce hundreds of black boxes and arrows on white paper and nobody will give a shit, but give them something that has some personality, something that takes a visual and human stand, and you’re one step closer to getting them to give a shit.
