THE DESIGN THAT CONQUERED GOOGLE

Google is a traditionally left-brain company now balancing analytics with the proper beauty of design with “cards.”  

“The idea is that each card is a single atomic contextual piece of information; essentially, a suggestion, a prompt, a call to action,” said Duarte. “It boils down to focus: in a very constrained space, they can communicate one thing really well.”

What was perhaps his best-known image was something of an anomaly. For the 1973 Pink Floyd album, “The Dark Side of the Moon,” prompted by a request from a band member for something “graphic, cool and deliberate,” he created the suggestion of a triangular prism against a black background, an image of brilliant light refraction that became a symbolic reference to the band.

The record stores and book stores may dry up but libraries will live on forever as a place for deep thinking and research.
