I mentioned last time that I’ve been working on a new website for Emmy-award-winning game composer Mike Worth. He hired me to create a highly graphical design that showcases his work.
我提到过 上次 我一直在为艾美奖获奖游戏作曲家Mike Worth工作一个新网站。他雇我创建一个高度图形化的设计，以展示他的作品。
Mike loves ’90s animation, particularly Disney’s Duck Tales and other animated series. He challenged me to find a way to incorporate their retro ’90s style into his design without making it a pastiche. But that wasn’t my only challenge. I also needed to achieve that ’90s feel by using up-to-the-minute code to maintain accessibility, performance, responsiveness, and semantics.
Mike 喜欢 90 年代的动画，特别是迪士尼的 Duck Tales 和其他动画系列。他挑战我找到一种方法，将他们的复古 90 年代风格融入他的设计中，而不使其变成拼贴。但这并不是我唯一的挑战。我还需要通过使用最新的代码来实现 90 年代的感觉，以保持可访问性、性能、响应性和语义。
Designing for Mike was like a trip back to when mainstream website design seemed more spontaneous and less governed by conventions and best practices. Some people describe these designs as “whimsical”:
为 Mike 设计就像是一次回到主流网站设计似乎更自发、少受规范和最佳实践约束的时代。有些人将这些设计描述为“异想天开”：
adjective
形容词
- spontaneously fanciful or playful
- 自发的幻想或顽皮
- given to whims; capricious
- 任性；变化无常
- quaint, unusual, or fantastic

But I’m not so sure that’s entirely accurate. “Playful?” Definitely. “Fanciful?” Possibly. But “fantastic?” That depends. “Whimsy” sounds superfluous, so I call it “expressive” instead.
但我不太确定这是否完全准确。“顽皮？”绝对是。“幻想？”可能是。但“奇妙？”那要看情况。“异想天开”听起来多余，所以我称之为“表现力”更合适。
Studying design from way back, I remembered how websites often included graphics that combined branding, content, and navigation. Pretty much every reference to web design in the ’90s — when I designed my first website — talks about Warner Brothers’ Space Jam from 1996.
回顾早期的设计，我记得网站通常包含结合品牌、内容和导航的图形。几乎每个提到90年代网页设计的参考——当时我设计了我的第一个网站——都谈到了华纳兄弟的 太空大灌篮（Space Jam）1996年版。
Warner Brothers’ Space Jam (1996)

So, I’m not going to do that.
所以，我不打算这样做。
