Looking back at Hotwired, by Jeffrey Veen

I dug into my archives and found all the home page interfaces I worked on back then. Here’s a little trip through the history of those redesigns.
Bon évidemment quand je vois ça je suis nostalgique, c’était le temps où on apprenait, jour après jour, par grands bonds.
J’aime ce paragraphe :
I particularly like how we incorporated some of the browser behavior into this interface. For example, we built this as a single image map, and images that were links showed up with a bright blue 2pt border. Since we control that, we embraced it, adding a large matching border to the image, skewing it, and overlapping the icons a bit. This was an early example of our design philosophy of engaging constraint rather than fighting it.
C’est exactement le mantra que je répète depuis des années : apprendre et comprendre les contraintes.
