That’s interesting to observe how we’re getting influenced by things around us. How world we see and experience is determining what and how we do. Most of the time we’re not sensing the source of our actions and decisions. It’s very subtle. And often the “it feels right” moments are a sign that experience we’ve got, processed and incorporated is applied without realizing what exactly is done right…
But not this case:
I’m working on Windows Phone 7 application (yes, mGitHub and btw it’s already available in marketplace) in my spare time and weekends and I own a WP7 device which I really like. So, there was no surprise when I’ve seen that Metro UI, the visual style of Windows Phone 7 platform, influenced me and leaked in this screen that is part of a Silverlight application.
Asked people what they think, got mostly positive appreciations. It would be interesting to see how this concept will evolve. It’s only an early sketch, done by a “more developer than designer”. How you like it?
