Analysis of animation in mobile applications
Google Design Update
Android M was shown at the Google I / O 2015 conference, and the guidelines for all platforms were seriously updated . On the Google Design website, instead of tile cards, the Roboto Mono font is actively promoted - perhaps this year we will see a boom of interest in monospaced ones.

On the Wrist: Android Wear vs. Apple Watch
Luke Wroblewski compares the principles of operation and features of using Android Wear and Apple Watch. He concludes that, at the moment, on the smartwatch, first of all, actions are needed, not applications - they are too heavy.
In the article that appeared a little earlier, Luke says that removing the visible part of the interface often simply transfers it to the user's memory - he needs to know all the gestures, hotkeys and other actions that are not clearly shown in the interface. He cites the example of Android Wear and Apple Watch, where you have to remember a lot to work with the interface.
Why the Best Wireframe Style Is No Style
Anthony T recalls that wireframes should be black and white, without using spectacular styling, as you can see more and more on the same Dribbble. Their task is to convey the structure and logic of the screens, in order to proceed as soon as possible to the design, and not to be a separate selling tool. Translation into Russian .
Getting fluent at the language of iconography
Wenting Zhang writes that some icons denote nouns, and some - verbs, and it is important not to combine them. He also develops the theme of a single language of icons, because they do not accidentally use fonts, and the first writing systems used hieroglyphs, i.e. also icons.

Qualitative Research Software
Last Wednesday OptimalWorkshop released a very useful tool for storing and searching results for your user research.

Burger Navigation
- Even the BBC wrote the burger icon . Collected opinions of the authors of the most sensational materials.

- Brad Frost offers a reminder of the classic navigation pattern, when instead of collapsing under one icon, the screen shows the maximum possible number of menu items, while the rest are hidden under "more . " On mobile it is not particularly loved, but in vain.
