Wonderful quote from slide 69: http://www.changemakrs.com/EdwardTufte/design-isn-t-crafting...

(website above requires login to see the quote, however you can also simply point the slidedeck to slide 69.)

I'm building and designing an app and this huge slidedeck has tripled my open tabs, many nice pointers, insights and resources--greatly recommend to go through it.

Also a fantastically epic display of the 2013 web experience from one of it's worst sides: in order to read this single quote from a Famous Guy(TM), I'm supposed to log in with Facebook. Yeah, right.

They even know this is weird and go to some length to "lubricate" the process by having an explanation pop up.

Fail.

My bad, that was not linked to the original presentation, but to the single quote on a website for quotes. I wasn't aware they required login though, that's really bad and goes against what I think is greatest in the web (that is, apps that let you get using them without even identifiying yourself, and sign up only later if you want).

However your criticism is still spot on, since the website (changemakrs.com) is a fine example of great visual design following all latest trends of minimalistic and big type, as in the slides, but a poor example of usability design indeed. Thanks for the heads up, I'll refrain from linking quotes through them until it's made more accessible.

I could just click on the overlay and the login-box disappeared.

Tremendous presentation. Well worth your time.
