Posted by Nirav | Filed under Bay Area, Design, Facebook
Mark Bixby came up with a nifty affordance today: put a thin, tinted film on the screen of a digital camera with the cutout of a person’s head and shoulders and leave it somewhere. With no words, it’s clear that you’re supposed to take a picture of someone, in that specific zoom and positioning. Text instructions are the most primitive way of explaining usage.
