Hey everyone, please meet Talos from the Iconfactory.
The Iconfactory - an indie Mac/iOS design and software company known for designing beautiful icons and interfaces for clients. In parallel with client work, they also produce a portfolio of super popular apps – Flare, Twitterific, xScope, Astronut and more.
Talos spoke last year in an interview at iPhanatic. He’s back again this year and want more with us. This time, we focus our discussion on iOS-ification.
Lion – king of the jungle is used as the code name of Mac OS 10.7.
Apple showcased this current OS in the “Back to the Mac” event in Oct 2010. The pitch, in general sense, is Apple has learnt a lot over the past several years working on iOS and it’s time to bring to great stuff “back to the Mac”.
Here comes in Lion, the list from Steve:
- Multitouch
- App Store
- App Home screens
- Full screen apps
- Auto save
- Apps resume when launched
The list goes on… “natural” scrolling, the toned down interface, iOS-style zooming in Safari, leather-like interface in iCal and Address Book…
Are these your favorite new features in Lion?
Let’s hear what Talos thinks on this current Apple interface design trend. How does he translate a Mac interface to mobile and vice versa? What are the tips to make interface scale across all screen sizes – iPad, Macbook Air and iMac? How much Mac OS X should be like iOS?
Date and Time: 14 Dec 2011, 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Venue: Beansbox Studio, 48 Tung Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong (Google Map)
