Marco Arment wrote recently about overdoing the interface metaphor. You should go and read it for yourself if you haven’t already.
The example he uses is the OSX Calculator.app which mimics a real-life object almost exactly. By definition then, it is also not as good as a piece of software designed without those limitations.

The previous version was a grid driven design. I knew from the outset that Critical Zero would be no different.
I want to delve deeper into the overall design of this site at some point in the near future but first it makes sense to look at the backbone of the design, the grid.

I’ve been a fan of COLOURlovers for a long time now. I’m pretty sure I was around when the idea was first floated on Kirupa, a flash web design forum that I used to frequent when I first started designing for the web.
Since then, I’ve developed my taste for web design and design in general. I know what I like and I’m pretty quick to make a judgement on whether a site has what it takes to impress me.
