Ive just had a skype convo with our boss whos trying to shoehorn his latest discovery on pinterest, a dial menu, into the app we're working on
ive said "ok... but im aiming for clean simplicity and purity of info display... the dial ui is a complicated feature with lots of implications for usability"
he said "i 100% completely disagree"
so he wants something cluttered and unusable???
im confised lol

well i do like the title of this thread.
I 100% completely disagree with the idea that the boss has anything to say about what you are working on.

He disagrees that the dial is so complicated it'll compromise the purity

That's the nature of the beast though isn't it? Changing at the last minute?
To be honest... there's definitely a reason why there is such a thing in design production as a process and schedule exists, but in general, I find there to be great value in creating a process flexible enough to allow for the emergence of a better idea... should one present itself.
Now, I'm not saying your boss is right to suggest the idea interface, but in general, if the idea is better, go with it. Regardless if a ton of production has already been completed. The end result will be better.

Surely this is just another idea, and ideas make the world go round.
Agree with me then!

Fuck meaningless 11th-hour changes. Fuck people who do nothing then make such changes just to piss on their territory. And fuck that you can't use something from 2 years ago because its not fresh.
I believe I need coffee.

Anyone else think dribbble has become a community of content that self-replicates and only introduces the slightest of variation in design?
I'm about sick of seeing the 100th 'DARK UI KIT' that is a rebound of 'LIGHT UI KIT'...

as designers, we sometimes turn a cheek to become ignorant to truths and realities because our design religion implies a need for purity and cleanliness. and we laugh at others who hold opposite values. you might want to ask yourself, what you base your ideas on. most likely, years and years of design experience that makes your design bible iron clad. but like the bible, it's built on the ideals of people, rather than the word of science. in which case you simply need to prove your theory. when you do that you or your boss may find new truths because the ones you hold may have changed or become invalid.
