What is your favorite way to visualize… Anything, images, files, music, games, etc?
In grid is aesthetically appealing, but I find it very difficult to visually locate what I’m looking for quickly. In list, on the other hand, it’s boring as fuck, but it’s stupid easy to find anything.
I’ve used to like grids, but I’m now very partial to lists. I used to like how grids enable you to scan thumbnails quickly, (like in games, music, images and files), but now I find them to be quite distracting. In lists, if I know what I am looking for (name, file type, etc), I can quickly go to where I need to be, and only need to scan a few items.
Of course, if the list is incredibly long, it’d be more difficult, but even more so with a grid of thumbnails. The only possible exception here is images. Knowing when a photo was taken can give me a clue, but hell do I remember what I took that got saved as
