Look and feel is shallow. In the context of software, look and feel refers to what skin widgets have. Programmers use it when they talk about Java vs native widgets. You can have one app and skin it different ways, changing its "look and feel". To some extent, you could say the various themes of Windows XP and Winamp change the product's "look and feel", but you don't hear people say that often. Again, only Java people.
If you look at a content-heavy site like Major League Baseball, you can see that the information on each team's site is largely the same, and they differ only in "look and feel", which is the colors, highlighting, and team logo. > There is an interesting editorial and follow up discussion regarding the > term 'look and feel' - at the design observer (mostly a graph design > blog). > I have used the term many times when speaking to clients. To me it is > everything about the site that is visual, except for the interactions. > http://www.designobserver.com/archives/032084.html#comments -Mark ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
