I really don't like this new trend. It's a fad among web designers - like the one a year or two ago where everything on the screen would flash and shake as the cursor moved over it. The most basic principles of good design are being thrown out of the window, mainly because designers need to keep changing sites or they are out of a job.
If UMSF goes the same way I'm quitting! Or at least I would if there was anywhere else to go. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

The most basic principles of good design are being thrown out of the window, mainly because designers need to keep changing sites or they are out of a job. I can't stand this shift to 'trendy' websites either....but I have had visibility into the process behind the redesign for many of JPLs pages...and I can tell you, the demand for it isn't coming from designers, it's coming from management. And when it's winning awards all over the place - it's not going to go away any time soon : http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4566 |
