Re: The most beautifully designed interview ever
#2Is this thread title a joke? Or Sarcasm? I'm on an 11" air screen, and I feel like I'm looking through a very thin Letterbox, meagrely scraping together a few words of meaning before having to re-adjust my position to get more of the picture.
In fact, scrolling down past the title, and the header image, leaves one state of the page display to nothing but a half-cutoff flowchart, the bottom of a chin, and the rest of the picture is taken up by cleavage. Probably not the intended effect. (Edit: Like So: http://xgkkp.com/images/screenshot_mostbeautifulpage.png. I'm not going to read a page called "Women And Tech" that thinks that is a good way to target their apparently intended demographic)

It looks great on a big screen, though. So I guess the title should be renamed beautiful site that looks great on a big monitor but cramped on a little one.

It looks like it scales to the current width, so presumably a very wide window on a big monitor would look just as bad?

#5Yes, gorgeous girls...
And annoying design...
I quickly scrolled down to see if anytime it would stop with the annoying stupid pictures, but it did not...
And I did not enjoyed the pictures either, even thought the women on them were pretty, the effect itself was overly distracting.
The effect IS interesting, but I did not read it, neither saw the pictures, in fact the only thing it made me to do was waste my time commenting on how bad it is.

It looks great full screen on my 1440x900. I'm not sure if that qualifies as big though.

It looks horrific on my 1920x1080. Enormous scary pictures, giant text that's still only taking up half the screen. I hate design.

#9Design is not just how something looks, but how it works, and this design fails miserably in that regard. Scrolling with a mouse wheel is just one of the ways you can browse through a web page. I'm a chronic page-downer; I use the spacebar to do so. I find it very difficult to track text that is moving, so I prefer to move the page one "page" at a time, reorient myself, then read everything I can see.
I kept paging up and down in an attempt to figure out why the page was jumping around and I was only seeing parts of photos. It wasn't until I reached for my mouse and scrolled up and down repeatedly that I figured out what was going on.
The "oh cool" image reveal effect isn't a good enough trade off for me to continue using a site that implements this style. I hope it doesn't catch on.

The title wasn't a joke. I love the way the interview is presented. The team clearly put a lot of time into it. I especially love the collage they created of a bunch of the women who have attended Ladies Learning Code workshops. It was really unexpected, and I was blown away when I saw it yesterday morning.
