looks good, but I'm not sure if necessary very-good-modern-design == simple ?
not trying to be down on you, just asking about it now because when I make stuff for others I don't have this corellation and to me the simplest thing is many times command-line.
We think there's a difference between "simple" and "stark" or "minimalist". Our goal is to create an experience that's inviting, explorable, and clear. That doesn't necessarily mean doing away with all visual ornamentation.
Sure, plain text is "simple", but iconography, texture, and other design elements can contribute to that ideal as well. Thanks for your thoughts!
Yes, I agree with you. There are many types of "simple" and iconography, texture, .. can help the simplicity if used very well.
I would just be really careful when doing this very rich design that the designer doesn't get carried away and forget that the design should be serving simplicity and not the other way around.
