I was told at least once by an executive that, “You’re putting too much visual information on a page.”
It’s like, well, you know I’m not going to be sad about that. Let’s reach for that.
Because I wanted Buffy to be cinematic. I didn’t want it to look like what I refer to as “radio with faces.” Because back then, the technology still being somewhat antediluvian, it was like, “Well, I could light her head and her shoulders, but that will take an extra 40 minutes.”

Here’s to hoping someday I can use that reasoning when it’s time to get away from ‘let’s make it as clean and simple as Apple does.“
