Imagine a form field that looks and feels like your phone’s screen has a real indent. If the glass effect is tied directly to the surface interaction, the animation would feel consistent…

Design awards usually go to what’s new. But here’s the paradox: The only way to tell if a design is really good is if it stands the test of time.
So getting picked after 15 years is good news for good design. For ideas that hold up. For products built to last.
