U-Boat watch
大戦中の活躍で良くも悪くも有名な旧ドイツ海軍潜水艦の総称、U-Boatの乗組員に支給されるはずだったイタリアの腕時計がここにきて復刻、しかもかなり評判が高いという話。ワリと大振りな文字盤なのだがその余白を大いに利用したシンプルなインターフェイスで格好いい。まー、軍人用というか、軍事用なので、その辺の意義やらを問うと面倒なことになりそうなので突っ込みはやめておくけど、映画「Das Boot」に登場するユルゲン・プロポノフあたりだったら確実に似合うこと請け合いですな。
ちなみにこの映画は様々な意味ですばらしい映画なので是非ともご覧ください。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
