SGI

{{Mary-Margaret Network}} ====================== {{Next}}

I was a member of the Tools R&D division of Global Support at SGI. One of our charges was to produce a quarterly release of user tools, named TaskPros. This release was expected to contain new tools as well as improved functionality and usability of the existing tools.

I started in the middle of a release cycle and immediately realized that the existing tools were designed visually around showing off what SGI machines were capable of doing. This led to many unpleasant aesthetic choices.
