Lessons from a Design Legend (a before-and-after)
While the new design is undoubtedly prettier I'd wait to call it a success and see if it actually <i>works</i> better, because I kinda feel like the old design was better in the <i>functionality department</i>. Here's a couple reasons why:<p>1. It's very <i>de auteur</i>. If you watch it in contrast with every other Mike Kus design as beautiful and awesome they are you'll see that this design is not <i>that</i> original and looks just every other Mike Kus design. 
2. The mobile app looks like a giant bueautiful useless splash screen. It has a lot more graphics and details and yet it conveys a lot less information that the 'before' design. For starters, that the damn button is clickable and it will redeem something from Mario's Pizzeria.<p>Or am I just becoming an old cranky designer?
