Apparently so. Adobe has announced the new CS3 icon family and it has caused some minor dismay. I’ve yet to read any resounding praise for the icons. However, I’ve read many angry outbursts, some eloquently put criticisms, but mostly just confused indifference.
Why a company as well known for producing creative software, would create an icon family that has a novice visual feel is beyond me. I suppose we could only speculate at Adobe’s motives until they supply an official explanation, but I’d like to believe they have a good reason, and that it’ll all become clear as we get closer to a full launch of CS3.
this dude's a real star
I’ve been working in the web development industry for five years now. For five years I’ve been able to sustain a specific lifestyle, working solo. Working in an industry I both love and admire. I’ve seen designers, programmers, ideas, businesses and so on, come and go, come again then leave once more. I’ve heard just about every conceivable pitch for projects from one page brochures to one-hundred page social networks. I’ve been offered partnerships, equity, free hosting and heard promises of more work to come. Basically I’ve heard it all.
There is one thing I do above all else that keeps my business running and my mind clear. Keeps me riding the karmic bicycle in the right direction if you will.
That thing. That one, simple thing is; Respect.
Enjoy my stuff? here is more.
