I remain stunned how much Windows 8 has managed to turn peoples perception of "cool graphics" around. 5 years ago most folks would have puked at the looks of that.

Oh my god that is amazing (OK I may still be a little sleep deprived and drunk) but that is ace - the cars move and get tyres and there is cheering at the end :clap: lol. :lol:

 

Edit: :evil: Wait a minute - I just went to watch again (because it was so cool) and just realised it is a Ferrari thing - It is so not cool anymore  :mad: I was tricked onto the Ferrari website against my will  :evil: :p

can anyone remember the site that that has the line graphs? 

I think it's Russian and has Maclaren in the name but my google-fu is letting me down.

It is in the race thread - I will go look

Edit Found it :)

Race: :: Pit :: Sector times :: Max speeds :: Best lap :: Lap Chart :: History graph

Cheers Exb.

The "History graph" is generally the one that best tells the story of the race for me.

I wasn't the only one who noticed, then. :lol:

Though I have to admit I like the flat colors on the desktop side of 8. Much preferred to the disorienting aeroglass look of Windows 7, in my opinion.

Am I the only one who tried to change the race result with my mouse?

My poor middle finger. What a terrible case of tablet-webdesign.

 

I'll stick with boring graphs and tables. :p

Nice and all that but nothing beats the Indy "Which manufacturer has lost the most wing(lets)" graphic.

It's called flat design. It's much more elegant and functional than skeuomorphic design. Every up-to-date company relies on it nowadays and nobody with a minimal understanding of design would have ever puked at the looks of that.

The downside of the rise of infographics.  People go berserk with trying to represent things in a way that looks cool, but instead positively interferes with understanding.  Try working out who came 8th looking at that for instance.

You mean apart from the table showing it and/or the order they cross the finish line?

QED.  It comes from the table.

I think it's about the clearest graphic I've seen showing the ebb and flow of the race.  I do miss the "waterfall" display that GaleForce F1 used to have before FOM jumped up and down on them.

Sounds cool. I just wonder why apparently nobody knew about what you now present as self evident until lately.

Not quite sure what you're arguing against there. :cat:

 

It's a new trend in user-interface design, but with roots/inspiration dating as far back as the 1930s with the Bauhaus Movement from Germany. I said it would have been appreciated by anyone with a minimal knowledge of good design, no matter when it was launched.

 

Google, Apple, Facebook & co. all use it, but I guess they have no idea what they're doing.

Big corporations are just as susceptible to trends as anyone, in fact their fear of looking outdated and irrelevant in the eyes of a fickle public probably makes them more likely to follow the latest trends. As long as these trends aren't actively hurting people's interaction with the site, it's probably not a bad idea to keep up with what the public is told is modern.

 

I'm also not sure that endless scrolling and wasting a ton of screen space on huge pictures and big fonts is necessarily related to flat design. You can have flat design without these 'features', as many other sites or user interfaces show.

Well in this case it's the other way around - those big corporations actually launched the trend and told the public it is modern.

 

Endless scrolling is not definitory of flat design. As with every trend, you can argue there are good and bad implementations.

Wow! I had already forgotten that Kimi was twelve minutes behind Vettel.
