Is Android the first truly postmodern platform? With fewer design restrictions than any other operating system it could certainly be heading that way. Join Liam Thurston and dive into some jaw dropping examples of dynamic postmodern design in Android and explore what the possibilities for the platform thanks to its flexibility around UX and navigation. This presentation maps developments in user experience design against evolutions throughout art history - by expanding on the well-trodden parallels of skeuomorphism/classical and flat/modernism, it is possible to predict a bold design future for Android as a true blank canvas for design innovation.
