I was referring to writing about it for The Industry. I am a writer there, not here at Gizmodo. They requested to use my article on here. I've only been writing "professionally" (I' don't consider myself a professional writer by any means, yet) for about 3 and a half months over at The Industry. We focus on design and

Good! Damn. That's some incredible work you have there. I'll definitely keep you in my network of people to know, haha. Feel free to do the same. I'm not a designer though for the most part. I understand design and write on it, but I have very little design work actually out in public. I'm a photographer by profession

It does seem to be the much better option as far as future-proofing is concerned. Thanks for bringing it up to me. I may actually have to do some research into it and maybe write up an article on them for The Industry.

Gannon Burgett, here: I actually wrote a piece on The Industry a while back about gestures in design. Not everyone agrees obviously, but gestures are surely becoming more and more imbedded in our daily interactions with devices and I feel they will eventually be just as prominent as buttons.

Gannon Burgett, here: I've heard of APNGs, but I have never really looked thoroughly into them. I think they would be much better than GIFs as well. If they could bump up computability it would be a very viable solution.

Gannon Burgett, here: It's Twitter's Blue.

Gannon Burgett, here: Definitely. As displays allow for more fluid text, I'm interested to see how formatting changes. The book format is how we still read, but it could always change in the future. Sure that's thinking far down the road, but then again that's what designers and visionaries do. 900px is definitely as

Gannon Burgett (writer of this post), here: Apologies it was a bit misleading. Right now our website, The Industry, is focused mainly on digital design. We're working on building our network and a lot of talk about getting into the more physical realm of design is taking shape, but it's not definite now, as we want to

Gannon Burgett, here: True. Looking back at the article, there are a few things I should've condensed and a few more I should've added in their place (round avatars, three-fold navigation). hindsight is 20/20 though and it was already shared too much to change things by then.

Alrighty. I never had one and guess I hadn't played around with one enough to take it into account. Apologies there. Thank you for the correction, though!

Beautiful. Thank you, sir. I'm not the one doing the redesign, though. I'm purely a writer for The Industry. A great resource nonetheless.

How else are you going to display a collection of textual leads to navigate throughout apps? Visual cues may work for some applications, but not all as affordance would be bare minimal.

Gannon Burgett here: You can't get much cleaner than three parallel lines. I understand some people don't like it, but how can you more efficiently represent a list. Plus it looks good as an actual button or just an icon over top of the content.

Gannon Burgett here: +1

Gannon Burgett here: I was going to state that, but Zune was more the typography version of "Metro" and not so much the block-type media that Windows 8 has, so that's why I made the XBOX dashboard reference instead because it more closely resembles the beginning of Windows 8 UI.

I think that'd be great. As bandwidth gets speedier, I could eventually see this becoming a possibility. Until then, I don't think it'll go far, unfortunately.

Gannon Burgett here: Definitely. They need to separate the mobile version from the full-site in a better manner. Especially sites that involve a lot of "logging in" and such.

Gannon Burgett here: Definitely. I'm wondering if they could somehow update the way GIFs are presented, though. I don't know the technical details, but adding a wider color palette would do a lot.

Gannon Burgett here: I do talk to her about the stuff I write. She doesn't understand a single thing, but the conversations are priceless. She does here best to understand and the support she gives me is nothing short of incredible. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

No worries, sir. I'm not the one designing it, so I can't tell you. It's mainly behind closed doors right now; even to most of us over at The Industry. I'm not sure of the best way to efficiently present long reads on larger displays. I think 800-900 pixels is good when combined with good typography and a responsive
