this one will be SO COOL to color by Betatester.

I spent all week designing this character…

then I meet a guy eerly similar to him. kinda creepy.

now I wanna know the guy better.

Stopdesign asks if it’s time to move beyond 960. Hardware suppliers assumed market would want higher resolutions, but in reality final users don’t go beyond 1080×960 px like power users - developers, video producers - do.
.
I wrote this answer originally on my google shared items, but I’m reposting here since I need more input.
.
My theory is that final users didn’t migrate to higher resolutions simply because it makes typefaces smaller by default. had we grew the screens, while preserving typeface size’s ratio, people would go for it.
.
Then again, we depends on corporate defaults, and those depend on programmers that - unlike final users - love smaller fonts to glance at more code.
.
If that’s the case, it’s a huge blind spot.

Dear Rich People by Ray Fenwick.
.

Dear Rich People,
We, the poor, feel it’s time you knew the truth. We grow weary of the way you look at us, and you’re getting to be a real pain to live with. SO here’s the truth, direct from headquarters: We are poor because we spend every last dollar on building and maintaining an opulent underground paradise, a world so breathtaking it would humble you into a coma. We din’t mention it before-we thought that would be tacky-but we’re too fed up to care about your feelings.
Farewell, for now we step into our shimmering crystal elevators, never to return. And you’re not invited.
Regretfully, The Poor.
