Khoi Vinh on the NYTimes.com redesign: “The awesome redesign I didn’t do.“ Khoi is the new design director at the NYTimes.
Quote:
“I think it’s a sterling piece of work, a great example of how to evolve a user experience rather than reinvent it: the best reaction it could receive from readers (those not among that vanishingly small subset of the general populace who can be called ‘design savvy’) would be something along the lines of “The new design looks just like the old design.— That would suit me fine, because it would signal a continuity that I think is completely appropriate for such a closely watched site like The New York Times’, and besides, I know for a fact that it’s more elegant and more useful than it was before.”
I’m a big fan of Khoi’s structured, minimal design (and his blog) and look forward to his leadership in evolving the NYTimes.com design.
