9-bits A tumblog by David Kaneda about design, technology, and business. Broadcast from Palo Alto.

Lukas Mathis examines the importance of abstracting ideas in UI design, as opposed to using literal visuals: When designing user interfaces, we rarely ever want to show a specific entity; typically, we want to convey an idea or a concept. Details can easily distract from that idea or concept.
